In group A patients underwent anterior endonasal dacryorhinocystostomy, group B underwent the posterior approach. All patients were evaluated through Nose Sinus Manometry, endoscopic dye disappearance functional test (EDFT) and subjective assessment three months post-op. Pearson test and T-student Test were used for evaluations.\nRESULTS: The mean differences in the pressure values were significantly different in the two groups of treatment, therefore, the patients of group B had strong improvement in pressure values compared with patients of group A.\nCONCLUSION: This study confirms a relevant physical distinction between posterior En-Dcr outcomes compared to anterior En-Dcr and reveals a significant success rate difference between the two groups of patients. The posterior surgical technique shows better results than the anterior one, by providing an almost physiological post- operative endonasal outcome. These results also showed the effectiveness of Nose Sinus Manometry in assessing the post- operative outcomes after En-Dcr.","tracks":[{"project":"maxiaofeng52_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":382,"end":411},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"maxiaofeng52_800_3"}]},{"project":"wangzhuo19_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":382,"end":411},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"wangzhuo19_800_3"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"maxiaofeng52_800_3","color":"#d293ec","default":true},{"id":"wangzhuo19_800_3","color":"#93ecb8"}]}]}}
