Abstract:
We have developed a new technique for reconstruction of full thickness eyelid defects. A composite three-layer skin-cartilage-mucosal unit is manufactured and tailored three-dimensionally. Use of this sandwich graft in our patients proved to be simple and safe for eyelid reconstruction and has given good results without complications in four patients.
