Abstract
The purpose of this case series is to report the demographic profile, indications, anatomical considerations, and outcomes of Endonasal endoscopic DCR in the infants. Five eyes of 3 infants underwent IEnDCR with a mean age of 4.26 months (range: 23 days-8 months). There were 2 males and 1 female. Two of the infants underwent bilateral surgery. The indication for surgery in the infant undergoing unilateral surgery was recurrent acute dacryocystitis and lacrimal abscess formation secondary to refractory and complex congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Infants undergoing bilateral lacrimal surgery had refractory complex congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction and were in need for an early intraocular surgery for associated ocular morbidities. Mitomycin-C (0.02% for 3 minutes) and silicone intubation was used in all cases. At follow up of 9 months, all the 3 infants demonstrated anatomical and functional success. The surgical technique requires certain modifications in order to cater to the unique challenges. It is safe and effective in experienced hands and can be considered as an alternative to an external DCR in infants.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the outcomes of external dacryocystorhinostomy (Ext DCR) in paediatric patients. METHODS A single-centre, retrospective, interventional, non-comparative case series was performed on all paediatric patients who underwent Ext DCR between July 2010 and July 2014. Surgery was performed as per standard Ext DCR protocols with only anterior flap suturing. Data collected include demographics, clinical presentations, primary diagnosis, associated systemic anomalies, past interventions, indications for the surgery, use of adjuvants, intraoperative and post-operative complications, aetiology of DCR failure, anatomical and functional successes. RESULTS 135 eyes of 114 children underwent Ext DCR during the study period. Mean age was 9.68 ± 4.36 years and epiphora was the most common presentation (92.5%, 125/135). Persistent congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction refractory to earlier interventions of probing or intubation was the most common indication for the surgery noted in 57% (77/135). Adjuvants like mitomycin C and intubation were used in 70% (95/135) and 72% (98/135) of the surgeries, respectively. At a 6-month follow-up, anatomical and functional successes were noted in 91.1% (124/135) and 90.3% (123/135), respectively. 12 eyes showed anatomical failure and one eye showed functional failure. The most common cause of DCR failure was a complete cicatricial closure of the ostium (83.4%, 10/12). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that Ext DCR is a safe surgery for paediatric populations with a high success rates of beyond 90%.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the article is to report the outcomes of powered endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (PEnDCR) in pediatric patients. METHODS A single-center, single surgeon, retrospective, interventional, non-comparative case series was performed on all pediatric patients who underwent PEnDCR between July 2014 and July 2017. Patients with associated congenital anomalies like single punctum agenesis or lacrimal fistula were excluded. Surgery was performed as per standard protocols published earlier. Data collected include demographics, clinical presentations, past interventions, indications for the surgery, intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative ostium characteristics, and anatomical and functional success. RESULTS Ninety-one eyes of 83 children underwent PEnDCR during the study period. Mean age was 8.32 years and epiphora was the most common presentation (81%, 74/91). The most common indication for PEnDCR was persistent congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction refractory to earlier interventions of probing or intubation. Postoperative ostium assessment at 4 weeks showed a well-healed ostium with a dynamic internal common opening in 86.8% of the eyes. Edge granulomas of the ostium were the most common abnormal finding in the postoperative period (9.8%, 9/91) and all except one could be managed conservatively. At 6 months follow-up, five eyes showed anatomical failure and additional two eyes showeXd functional failure. Two of anatomical failure group and one of functional failure underwent a second intervention. The final anatomical and functional success were noted in 96.7% (88/91) and 95.6% (87/91), respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that PEnDCR is a safe surgery for pediatric populations with a high success rate of beyond 95%.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim is to compare the outcome of nonendoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (NEN DCR) with external DCR (EXT-DCR) in the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in children. METHODS A retrospective, comparative chart analysis of all consecutive children <16 years after EXT-DCR or NEN-DCR between June 2012 and February 2016. RESULTS Seventy-one children (79 eyes) underwent DCR in the study, of which 37 children (40 eyes) underwent EXT-DCR and 34 (39 eyes) NEN-DCR. Mean age of both groups (8.7 vs. 7.7 years) was comparable. Etiologically, persistent congenital NLDO was the most common indication (50% vs. 72%), followed by acquired and secondary NLDO. Mean duration was shorter for NEN-DCR (47 vs. 37 min; P = 0.0021). Mitomycin C 0.04% was used more often in NEN-DCR (10% vs. 56.41%). Success after primary EXT-DCR was 100% as compared to 75% for primary NEN-DCR at median follow-up of 12 and 16 months respectively. At revision, the main cause of failure was granuloma (60%). After revision, all eyes were symptom-free at a median follow-up of 9.5 months. CONCLUSION Primary NEN-DCR has a poorer outcome than EXT-DCR in the treatment of NLDO in children and is more likely to need a revision procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epiphora secondary to nasolacrimal duct obstruction is common in the pediatric age group. The mainstay treatment among these young patients has been conservative. Once epiphora becomes recalcitrant, however, an external or an endonasal approach is considered. OBJECTIVE Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) entails creating an opening from the lacrimal sac directly into the nasal cavity to counteract nasolacrimal duct obstruction. We reviewed the literature to determine the effectiveness and the safety of primary EDCR to treat pediatric nasolacrimal duct obstruction. METHOD A literature search was conducted by using a number of medical literature data bases for the period from 1995 to 2016. The following search words were used either individually or in combination: epiphora, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, powered endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, laser-assisted endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, children, congenital, acquired, presaccal obstruction, and postsaccal obstruction. In addition, a few articles were identified based on the experience and information provided by the senior authors (B.A., S.H., D.Y.W.). The search was conducted over a 1-month period (January 2017). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions were followed when possible. RESULTS Only 10 original clinical research articles were selected based on our objectives and selection criteria. All the studies were at level of evidence III: nonrandomized and noncomparative prospective or retrospective case series. Altogether, 313 patients with ages that ranged from 4 months to 18 years were enrolled. A total of 352 EDCRs were performed that were either single sided (n = 313) or bilateral (n = 39). The most common causes of the obstruction were classified as congenital, followed by idiopathic, and then acquired. A meta-analysis was not performed because of the heterogeneity of the patient groups and variability of the methods used to measure outcomes. CONCLUSION Analysis of the results indicated that EDCR was an effective, safe therapeutic approach to treating nasolacrimal duct obstruction in pediatric patients. It should be considered as an alternative procedure to external dacryocystorhinostomy after a failed conservative treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Endoluminal application of mitomycin C shows promise as a nonsurgical approach to treating recalcitrant stricture but requires precise delivery to prevent mitomycin-mediated injury to adjacent normal mucosa. We describe a novel technique that uses a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene catheter balloon to endoluminally deliver mitomycin C to the target tissue while minimizing nontarget drug application. MATERIALS AND METHODS A newborn infant with proximal tracheoesophageal fistula and distal atresia underwent an uncomplicated repair. However, he developed recurrent esophageal stricture resistant to multiple attempts at pneumatic dilations. An image-guided endoluminal radiologic approach that uses microporous polytetrafluoroethylene catheter balloon was developed to precisely deliver mitomycin C to the mucosal lining of the stricture post-dilation. RESULTS After uncomplicated pneumatic dilation under fluoroscopic guidance, we used a microporous balloon catheter to endoluminally deliver mitomycin C topically to the mucosa at the level of stricture. Three weeks post procedure, repeat esophagram showed resolution of the stricture with unobstructed flow of contrast material to the stomach. The patient had no observable side effects from mitomycin C application. CONCLUSION Image-guided therapies based on balloon dilation and drug-eluting microporous balloon techniques offer a safe, precise, and comprehensive approach to the treatment of recalcitrant esophageal strictures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop a new technique for treatment of granulation tissue (GT) growth using local hyperthermia. METHODS A temperature-controlled diode laser system was developed for induction of mild hyperthermia in real time. GT was generated by harvesting the skin over the gluteal fascia in rats. Histopathological analysis was used to estimate the effect of hyperthermia on the tissue. RESULTS In untreated rats, GT was detected within 3 days and reached maximal thickness after 12 days. Hyperthermia at 43 degrees C and above significantly decreased GT thickness (n = 8 per group). Hyperthermia at 48 degrees C for 3 minutes was the most efficient parameter for treatment of GT (51% reduction), with minimal (5%) muscle necrosis. CONCLUSIONS Hyperthermia can significantly inhibit GT growth, with minimal damage to surrounding structures. Our findings suggest a possible role for hyperthermia as a therapeutic model against GT. Further research and long-term studies are needed to explore the utility of laser-induced hyperthermia for inhibition of GT growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the outcome and safety of pediatric endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy with the use of adjunctive mitomycin C. METHODS A prospective, nonrandomized and noncomparative interventional case series study was performed in 71 consecutive procedures. Sixty patients 16 years of age and younger underwent nonlaser endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy with the use of adjunctive mitomycin C. Eleven patients had a simultaneous bilateral procedure performed. All patients underwent a standardized procedure, with an endonasal approach to the lacrimal sac and surgical removal of nasal mucosa, lacrimal bone, and a fragment of the frontal process of the maxilla. The medial wall of the lacrimal sac was completely removed and a neurosurgical cottonoid soaked in mitomycin C at 0.5 mg/ml placed at the osteotomy site for 5 minutes. All patients underwent bicanalicular or monocanalicular silicone intubation. RESULTS The main outcome measures were the resolution of epiphora, lacrimal discharge, and patency of the ostium confirmed either by endoscopic visualization and/or irrigation at 6 months or a normal dye disappearance test. Thirteen patients' (18%) final evaluation was via telephone survey. The mean follow-up was 12.3 months. Nonlaser endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy with adjunctive mitomycin C was successful in 67 cases (94.4%). African descent was strongly associated with a higher rate of obstruction (p < 0.001). Infection at the time of surgery (p = 0.051) and less than 3 months intubation (p = 0.059) were also borderline significant. Previous trauma, gender, age, and side operated had no influence on the final outcome. No significant complications were encountered. CONCLUSIONS Nonlaser endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy with mitomycin C is a safe and successful procedure for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children. It has the advantage of leaving no scar and of preserving the medial canthal structures. It can be successfully performed as a simultaneous bilateral procedure.

Abstract
We present 2 cases of successful treatment of recurrent anastomotic strictures using a topical application of mitomycin C. In the first case, a 4-year-old boy had a cervical cyst excised, which appeared to be an ectopic gastric mucosa. He consequently presented severe stenosis at the origin of the cervical esophagus that needed repeated balloon dilatations. The second case is about a 12-year-old girl who presented a traumatic complete rupture of the right mainstem bronchus managed by primary repair, with subsequent anastomotic stricture. Both patients were successfully managed with topical application of mitomycin C (1 mg/mL), and needed no more dilatations.
