Summary
Dacryocystorhinostomy aims to create a channel between the lacrimal sac and nasal mucosa to
relieve nasolacrimal duct occlusion. General anesthesia is still preferred by many surgeons
to secure the airway and control blood pressure. Bleeding even minor can obscure the surgical
field. This can extend the operative time & increase the failure rate. The hemostatic effect
of desmopressin on the quality of the surgical field was investigated in patients undergoing
endoscopic sinus surgery and revealed that desmopressin could reduce intraoperative bleeding.
