To evaluate the problems which we encountered during our surgical experience of 350 cases and what was done to get past them and also to evaluate the future prospects which will aid in decreasing the failures and making the procedure much simpler. A prospective study of 350 patients Undergoing Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery and the problems faced during the surgical procedure and there management. Tertiary Referral Centre (RUHS College of Medical Sciences, Jaipur). 350 patients operated upon with acquired Nasolacrimal duct obstruction. In our study with 350 cases we encountered problems in 75 cases some of them big enough to make the surgeon abandon the procedure but with years of experience and practice we have been able to counteract these problems and progressively reduce the recurrence and failures. So far we have achieved a success rate of 96% in first attempt and 100% after revision process. Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy a revolution in lacrimal surgery is still fraught with few problems but with proper case selection, meticulous preoperative workup and preparation and a good amount of experience makes the associated difficulties easier to identify and handle appropriately.
