Oncology

Background:

Reconstruction of full-thickness lower eyelid defects following neoplasm excision presents significant challenges.
Existing techniques like Hughes, Mustardé, Tenzel, and McGregor have limitations for extensive defects.

Purpose of the Study:

To present an original technique for lower eyelid reconstruction.
To offer an alternative to established methods for managing large lower eyelid defects.

Main Methods:

The technique involves mobilizing multiple pedicle subcutaneous flaps within the same eyelid.
A chondro-mucosal graft is utilized to support the reconstructed eyelid.
Applicable to central and off-central defects involving up to 75% of the eyelid width.

Main Results:

The technique is effective for reconstructing full-thickness lower eyelid losses.
Satisfactory oncological, functional, and aesthetic outcomes were observed during follow-up.
The method serves as a valuable alternative for complex lower eyelid reconstructions.

Conclusions:

The presented technique provides a reliable option for lower eyelid reconstruction after tumor excision.
It addresses the critical balance between oncological safety, functional restoration, and aesthetic results.
This method expands the reconstructive armamentarium for challenging eyelid defects.
