Characterization of bacterial and fungal biofilms in chronic rhinosinusitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Epiphora has a significant impact on the patient's quality of life and is commonly caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) has traditionally been performed via an external approach, which involves a skin incision. With the advent of endoscopes, the endonasal approach to DCR has g...
