Reconstruction of the lower eyelid with a cutaneous flap and oral mucosa graft
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last centuries, several surgeries for eyelid reconstruction have been developed, perhaps due to the complexity of this anatomical area. Tumors larger than two-thirds of the lower eyelid preclude their direct closure and require surgical reconstruction that preserves the anatomy of the eyelid. The purpose of the present study is to present a technique for reconstruction of the lower eyelid with jugal mucosa and Mustardé flap or advancement flap, without reconstruction of the tarsus. This technique was performed in a series of six cases, all presenting satisfactory post-operative results. These patients did not present distortion of the anatomy nor ectropion.

متن کاملEyelid Reconstruction Using Oral Mucosa and Ear Cartilage Strips as Sandwich Grafting
BACKGROUND The eyelid structure can be divided into an inner layer and an outer layer. Reconstruction of a full-thickness eyelid defect is accomplished by full-thickness composite tissue transfer or combined layered reconstruction. We present a new technique for inner layer reconstruction using ear cartilage and oral mucosa. METHODS The oral mucosa graft is harvested from the inner side of th...

Introduction: The inferiorly and laterally based platysma myocutaneous flap contains hair in some ethnics; therefore, it is required to change the myocutaneous flap to myofascial flap to prevent the hair growth after its transfer to the oral cavity. Materials and Methods: Five male mongrel dogs were selected for this study. De-epithelialized laterally based platysma fl...

Introduction: Advanced lip carcinomas can invade adjacent structures. Performing surgery for these cancers will lead to defects in this anatomically and functionally important area and will cause post-op difficulties such as drooling, speech alterations and aesthetic considerations, if not properly managed. Case Report: In this study, we will introduce a radial forearm free flap with palmari...
متن کاملReconstruction of Total Lower Eyelid Defects with the Temporoparietal Fascial Flap
Purpose. To describe the use of the temporoparietal fascial flap (TPF) in the reconstruction of extensive lower eyelid defects in a functioning eye. Methods. We present a surgical case report of a 73-year-old female with melanoma of the left lower eyelid. The lower eyelid was resected, and a composite nasal cartilage-mucosa graft, a skin graft, and a TPF were used to reconstruct the lower eyeli...
