Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery complications
The main complications after surgery are bleeding and infection. It is also possible to displace the tube, which is inserted to keep the duct open and you may experience some bruising around the area of the operation. A nosebleed may occur on the affected side. Usually this is a small amount and resolves within 48 hours. Excessive bleeding rarely occurs but if it does then a nasal pack may need to be used to stop the bleeding after the operation.
