[Preferred techniques of eyelid reconstruction]

The trend of lid reconstruction is to use less lid sharing operations. Free tarsoconjunctival or composite grafts in conjunction with covering skin muscle transplants have allowed suitable and cosmetically acceptable methods of full lid repairs. Our preferred surgical techniques are provided. Such methods of reconstructions differ according to the size of the lid sector to be rebuilt. The methods of Tenzel, Cutler-Beard, Landolt-Hughes, McCord, Leone, Hübner, Beyer-Bathrick and Mustardé were described in detail.
