Popis:	Chronic Dacryocystitis is a disease characterized by excessive watering from the eyes. We present a study conducted between June 2012 to June 2014, on 60 patients of chronic Dacryocystitis at tertiary care center , who were subjected to endoscopic DCR. Of the 60 patients, 30 randomly selected patients were operated with stent kept and remaining 30 without stent. We tried to compare if there was any benefit in maintaining the patency of the neosotium and also difference in the relief of symptoms by keeping the stent in place during surgery for a period of 6 weeks. Though there was better relief in Epiphora among patients with stent than those withou t stent in the immediate post - operative period but on the final outcome we found that there was no difference e ither in the patency maintenance or relief of symptoms in the post - operative end result between either groups
