    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Lower eyelid defects pose reconstructive challenges.
    • Existing methods may require multiple stages or prolonged occlusion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel tarsoconjunctival flap technique for lower eyelid reconstruction.
    • To assess the functional and cosmetic outcomes of this one-stage repair.

    Main Methods:

    • Reconstruction of lower eyelids in 13 patients.
    • Utilized a laterally based pedicle tarsoconjunctival flap from the upper eyelid.
    • Single-stage surgical procedure without prolonged eye occlusion.

    Main Results:

    • Successful reconstruction in all 13 patients.
    • The flap was effective for lateral, central, and medial lower eyelid lesions.
    • Functional and cosmetic results were comparable or superior to advancement flaps.

    Conclusions:

    • The tarsoconjunctival flap is a versatile and effective method for lower eyelid reconstruction.
    • This technique offers a reliable one-stage solution with excellent outcomes.
    • Suitable for a wide range of lower eyelid defect locations.
