Background & Method: Aim of this study is to Study the quality of life post Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy. The records of patients who underwent Endoscopic DCR in the last five years were retrieved from the archival records of Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery, K.G.M.U and were reviewed for demographic data, laterality, pre-operative complaints, co-morbidities, clinical and surgical profiles, adjunctive procedures, complications, and success rates at the last follow up. Result: On comparing pre to post op swelling around eye status, it was found that at pre op the mean swelling score was 2.90±2.33 which was reduced to 0.50±1.03 at post op. So a mean reduction of 2.40±0.14 was observed which was significant statistically (p<0.001). On comparing pre to post op general condition status, it was found that at pre op the mean condition score was 0.08±0.48 which was unchanged at post op. Conclusion: Endoscopic DCR has improved the treatment of Nasolacrimal duct obstruction, with outcome as comparable to external DCR. Thus the present study state Endoscopic DCR as an effective and safe alternative to external DCR with improved patient satisfaction.
