The study was summarized by presenting the causes of dacryocystorhinostomy, which is formed due to obstruction of the tear ducts (DCR). It is diagnosed by diagnosing the obstruction of the tear duct responsible for draining the lacrimal sac, which prevents tears from draining away from the lacrimal sac to the nose. Thus, painful swelling near the inner corner of the eye or irritation, recurrent infection, inflammation in the tear duct, and secretion of mucus or pus from the eyelids and surface of the eye that lead to swelling of the eyelids. The student discussed surgical treatment to open the tear drainage passage again through the nose, methods of following up the patient, and necessary treatments after the operation.

After discussion, the study was accepted and the student was granted specialization in ear, nose and throat surgery by the Iraqi Board of Medical Specialties.
