Total upper eyelid reconstruction by single staged malar-cheek flap

Indian J Plast Surg. 2014 Jan;47(1):116-9. doi: 10.4103/0970-0358.129637.

Abstract

We report a case of total upper eyelid reconstruction by a new technique after excision of an eyelid tumour. The eyelid was reconstructed by a horizontal, laterally based flap from just under the lower eyelid combined with a chondro-mucosal graft from the nasal septum. Surgical outcome was an excellent aesthetically reconstructed eyelid, which was mobile and properly gliding on the globe to achieve complete eye closure.

Keywords: Eyelid tumour; sebaceous carcinoma; upper eyelid reconstruction.
