Summary

Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy (CDCR) and glass Jones tube placement can be an effective means of treating proximal lacrimal system dysfunction. Patients with this condition can complain of significant epiphora that is challenging to manage. In this chapter, we discuss the preoperative assessment, surgical strategy, and postoperative management for CDCR. We highlight the endoscopic surgical approach, and special considerations for physicians performing this procedure. Potential complications and how to address such situations are also discussed.
