Popis: Purpose: To report our experience in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in treating nasolacrimal duct obstruction over a 14-year period. Methods: Retrospective case series carried out over a 14-year period from 1999 to 2014. A total of 624 endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy procedures were performed in 442 patients who were diagnosed with persistent epiphora. Participants: In total, 624 procedures in a total of 442 patients ( 18 yo: 406) were included. Patients' records were assessed for demographics, intra-and postoperative complications, outcome and follow-up. Results: In total, 442 patients underwent an endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy. There were 342 females (77.3%) and 100 males with a mean age of 50.2 years. All patients presented with epiphora: 33 congenital (7.5%), 357 acquired (80.7%) and 52 functional cases (11.8%). The adult dacryocystorhinostomy (n = 577) had an anatomical success of 90.1%. Children's group (
