The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) compared with transcanalicular laser DCR (TL-DCR). ⋯ EDCR and TL-DCR without silicone stent have offered a high success rate in the long term. Furthermore, endonasal procedures have less surgery time and leave no scar. We observed that EDCR and TL-DCR are favorable methods in cases of nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
