Dr. Parivash Nourizadeh, an ophthalmologist, said: The first Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery for lacrimal duct obstruction in the nasal endoscopic method was successfully performed in Vali Asr Hospital of Boroujen.

Explaining this news, Dr. Nourizadeh stated: The rare Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery in the nasal endoscopic method is a surgery that restores the normal flow of tears through the tear ducts to the nose and heals excessive tears.
