Reconstruction of the medial eyelid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used a free tarsal-conjunctival grate from the upper eyelid and a nasal-based pedicle skin-muscle flap for reconstruction of the medial aspect of the lower eyelid. This had the advantage of confining the reconstruction to the local area and eliminated the need for a temporal flap or an eyelid sharing procedure that necessitates occluding the fissure for several weeks.

متن کاملUpper eyelid rotation flap for reconstruction of medial canthal defects.
M edial canthal defects resulting from cancer resection after Mohs micrographic surgery present challenging reconstruction dilemmas. In fact, medial canthal reconstruction has been controversial because of the time-honored method of second-intention healing in wound management of this area. Yet, small flaps and grafts for repair of cutaneous medial canthal defects may result in a quicker healin...

BACKGROUND The cheek rotation flap has sufficient blood flow and large flap size and it is also flexible and easy to manipulate. It has been used for reconstruction of defects on cheek, lower eyelid, or medial and lateral canthus. For the large defects on central nose, paramedian forehead flap has been used, but patients were reluctant despite the remaining same skin tone on damaged area becaus...
متن کاملA useful flap combination in wide and complex defect reconstruction of the medial canthal region: Glabellar rotation and nasolabial V-Y advancement flaps.
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of medial canthal defects after tumour excision is difficult owing to the thin skin of the region and the concavity of the anatomical landmarks, which enclose complex structures such as the medial canthal ligament and the lacrimal system. Local reconstruction methods for this region include secondary healing, full-thickness skin grafts, and skin flaps from the frontal,...
متن کاملCombination of Glabellar and V-Y Cheek Advancement Flaps for Large Skin Defects of the Medial Canthal Area
Reconstruction of large soft tissue defects of the medial canthal area represents a challenge, because of the thin skin, concave contour, and proximity to important nearby structures. Tension-free closure is important in avoiding distortion of the eyelid and nasal ala. Skin graft closure is not aesthetically appealing, and there are limitations in the use of local tissues for reconstruction. We...
