Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Comparison between topical anaesthesia with cocaine versus lidocaine plus adrenaline for outpatient laser dacryocystorhinostomy].
To evaluate the effectiveness of topical anaesthesia with cocaine versus lidocaine plus adrenaline for outpatient transcanalicular and endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (TCLDCR) with diode laser under sedation. ⋯ The combination of topical lidocaine and adrenaline is more effective for outpatient transcanalicular and endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy than topical cocaine. Patient comfort was adequate in both groups, but high blood pressure and blood loss more common after cocaine.
