Abstract
One of the main reasons of failure of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is cicatricial closure of the ostium. Finding a way to prevent this outcome remains one of the leading aims of research in dacryology. The effectiveness of the most widespread methods is often considered contradictory by various researchers. Pirfenidone is a small-molecule agent that demonstrated good antifibrotic effect and low toxicity in previous in vitro research. There...
