[Personal experience in palpebral reconstruction after tumor excision]

To evaluate the main reconstructive methods in palpebral reconstruction after tumor excision.

We followed my personal experience of 59 cases operated in last 7 years, with tumors interesting the lower lid, the upper lid or both. After oncological resection we used the main methods in palpebral reconstruction from direct suture to complexe repair with flaps and compozite chondro-cutaneous flaps.

We try to analize the advantages and disadvantages of the main reconstructive methods, to establish treatment strategies and to bring something new in functional eyelid reconstruction.

The key in functional and aesthetical reconstruction of the eyelids is the correct oncological resection and anatomical reconstruction with similar tissues.
