Objective:
To introduce the methods for immediate reconstruction of tissue defects on eyelid caused by tumor excision.
Methods:
Single or combined local skin flaps were used to repair tissue defects on eyelids after tumor excision.
Results:
Since 1994, 216 patients (224 sides) were treated. All flaps survived with primary healing. 149 patients were followed up for 3 months to 10 years with satisfactory results. 2 patients with squamous cell carcinoma recurred and reoperated with local skin flap again.
Conclusions:
It is a simple, safe, flexible and reliable method to immediately repair the tissue defects with local flaps on eyelid caused by tumor excision.
