Surgery is usually necessary to treat a tear duct obstruction, in which the surgeon removes the tear duct obstruction. In this article we want to delve in lacrimal duct surgery in Iran. The operation of removal of obstruction in tear duct is called a dacryocystorhinostomy, which is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. If the tear duct is partially blocked, the doctor will try to remove the obstruction so that the tear can be properly guided. If this operation is unsuccessful or the lacrimal duct is completely blocked, surgery will be necessary.
Treatment of external lacrimal duct obstruction: In this method, surgeon makes a small incision in the upper part of the nose and near its septum. It removes a small part of the nasal bone to allow tears to drain between the tear sac and the nose. In some cases, the doctor will temporarily insert a tube into the entrance to the tear duct to prevent scar tissue from forming and the tear duct from closing again. After 8 weeks, the doctor removes the tube and sutures the entrance.

If there is significant swelling following your surgery apply cold compresses to the nose and corners of the eye(s). Do this about six times a day for no longer than fifteen minutes at a time until swelling subsides. If a “macaroni” tube is placed inside the nose, it should fall out in about 4-6 weeks time.
This procedure opens the passageway for tears to drain out your nose again. First you’re given a general anesthetic, or a local anesthetic if it’s performed as an outpatient procedure.
