Abstract
The dacryocystorhinostomy is an operation that connects directly the lacrymal sac to the nasal cavity. In 1904, Toti described the external approach but one had to wait until the development of the sinus surgery to have a new interest in the endonasal approach. It appears to be a safe, efficacious and a less traumatizing procedure preserving the lacrymal function without skin incision. It allows a procedure in a non-scarred field. A good relationship between the ENT and the ophthalmologist is required.
