In the first group of patients (72, 0 % of cases) performed only dacryocystorhinostomy. In the second group of patients (22.1%) also had different types of septal deformations which required surgical correction.

The fifth group (1,3% of cases) were patients with congenital anomalies of the facial skeleton, which required the extended surgical interference with full correction of revealed changes.
