Abstract Purpose:Acute dacryocystitis is often treated with anti-inflammatory agents, such as antibiotics, followed by surgical intervention. However, delayed surgery may lead to adverse events, such as dacryocystorhinostomy fistula. Recently, early surgical intervention has become increasingly common. Here, we report the surgical outcomes of patients who underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy(EnDCR) early after developing acute dacryocystitis at our institution.

Materials and Methods:Postoperative outcomes of patients diagnosed with acute dacryocystitis and those who underwent EnDCR at the Amagasaki General Medical Center between January 2022 and March 2025 were compared. Patients treated within 14 days of symptom onset were classified into the acute-phase group, whereas those treated after≧15 days were classified into the control group.

Results:The acute-phase and control groups comprised nine(mean age;78.2 years) and 16(mean age;74.8 years) cases, respectively. The number of days from symptom onset to surgery ranged from 3-12 days(mean;7 days) and 15-63 days(mean;31 days), respectively. Fever(axillary temperature in the 37℃ range) was observed on postoperative day 1 in five(55.6%) and 11(68.8%) cases in the acute-phase and control groups, respectively;however, fever resolved in all cases during follow-up. No serious adverse events or complications were observed. The tear meniscus height was 0.425±0.056 mm preoperatively and 0.128±0.058 mm postoperatively(p=0.0032) in the acute-phase group, and 0.404±0.226 mm preoperatively and 0.180±0.090 mm postoperatively(p=0.0013) in the control group. Significant improvements were observed in both groups. Furthermore, water flow tests demonstrated patency, and no abnormalities were observed at the anastomotic site.

Conclusion:Early EnDCR for acute dacryocystitis should be considered a safe and effective treatment option.
