DCR, Orbital, and Optic Nerve Decompression at Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, Jalandhar

At Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, we specialize in advanced surgical procedures such as Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), orbital decompression, and optic nerve decompression. Our expert team, led by experienced ENT and ophthalmic specialists, is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for conditions affecting the eyes, orbits, and surrounding structures.

What is Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)?

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure performed to create a new tear drainage pathway for patients suffering from obstructed tear ducts. This blockage can lead to excessive tearing, recurrent infections, and discomfort. The DCR procedure involves:

• Creating an opening in the lacrimal sac (where tears drain) and connecting it to the nasal cavity.
• Allowing tears to flow normally into the nose, alleviating symptoms and preventing complications.

What is Orbital Decompression?

Orbital decompression is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure within the eye socket (orbit) caused by conditions such as thyroid eye disease (Graves’ disease), tumors, or trauma. The procedure aims to:

• Reduce bulging eyes (proptosis) and improve vision.
• Enhance cosmetic appearance and alleviate discomfort.
• Prevent complications associated with increased orbital pressure.

During the surgery, our specialists carefully remove bone and/or fat from the orbit to create more space, thereby relieving pressure on the optic nerve and surrounding tissues.

What is Optic Nerve Decompression?

Optic nerve decompression is a procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the optic nerve, which can result from various factors such as trauma, tumors, or swelling. This surgery is critical for preserving vision and preventing further damage to the optic nerve. The procedure typically involves:

• Removing surrounding tissues or tumors that may be compressing the optic nerve.
• Creating space for the nerve to function optimally, thus enhancing the chances of vision preservation.
