439 to the upper eyelid wrinkle; from the upper eyelid wrinkle to the upper eyelid borderline; the eyelash area; the lower eyelid boundary to the lower eyelid wrinkle; the isthmus area; the medial area of the eyelid; the forehead area close to the eyebrow; and the nose and canthus. Most people with congenital melanocytic nevus in the eyelid or the periorbital area have considerable functional a...

Anophtalmic socket reconstruction is a challenging problem in plastic surgery. We had described a prefabricated superficial temporal fascia island flap and used this technique in >50 enucleation patients with severe socket contraction ending in excellent or good results for 28 years (Altindas- 1 procedure). However, the flap was not suitable for the exenteration patients with complete eyelid lo...

Large eyelid full-thickness defects are traditionally repaired using flaps with a blood-supplying pedicle, for the reconstruction of the anterior or posterior lamella or both. This is a 2-stage procedure involving occlusion of vision in the affected eye for 4-8 weeks, as the flap pedicle is not divided until vascularization is deemed adequate. However, the importance of using a flap with a pedi...

Different methods have been used to reconstruct the lower eyelids. Herein, we report a case of eyelid reconstruction using reverse facial artery flap. A 66-year-old woman underwent partial maxillectomy that included orbital floor and received radiotherapy for maxillary sinus cancer. The gradually atrophied, resulting in incomplete closure. Thus, was performed flap, which applied nose lip recons...

INTRODUCTION Ocular injuries commonly involve the lacrimal system. CASE A 14-year-old male had an eyelid injury with a canalicular tear. An angiocatheter tube was used as a stent for canalicular reconstruction. The focus of this report is on the method used, as well as the material for the repair in a rural hospital. CONCLUSION Angiocatheter tube can be a suitable alternative to silicone tu...

The cheek is the largest anatomical subunit of the face. It is a bilateral structure and symmetry must therefore be preserved. Peripherally it is related to important natural orifices whose location must also be maintained during surgical reconstructions. This is particularly important in the medial zygomatic subunit, whose delicate junction with the lower eyelid means that care must be taken t...

The clinical use of a temporal periosteal bone flap for the reconstruction of a malar bone in a patient with the Treacher Collins syndrome is presented. The temporal muscle functions as an axial carrier of the periosteum that induces osteogenesis in young children, whereas the bone segments may serve as a nucleus for further bone formation from the periosteum. Correction of the eyelid coloboma ...
