Background

Full-thickness eyelid margin defects resulting from tumor resection present a significant reconstructive challenge, necessitating techniques that balance functional restoration with aesthetic outcomes.

Purpose

This study evaluates the efficacy of the eyelid composite tissue flap advancement technique in addressing these challenges.

Methods

In this retrospective case series, 85 patients with eyelid margin tumors underwent reconstruction using the described technique.

n = 85 patients
85
Results
85
all 85 flaps stayed alive and healed - no failures
n = 85 patients
More results

The functional integrity of the repaired eyelids was maintained, and the aesthetic appearance was rated as natural or satisfactory.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

The eyelid composite tissue flap advancement technique is a reliable and effective single-stage procedure for reconstructing full-thickness defects involving up to two-thirds of the eyelid length.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Its robust blood supply and ability to restore the natural anatomical layers make it an ideal choice for this indication, yielding high survival rates and satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes.
