Background:

Eyelid defects pose reconstructive challenges, necessitating techniques that preserve eyelid function and avoid retraction.
Local skin flaps are frequently employed for lateral eyelid defect closure.

Observation:

The original Tripier flap was an innervated myocutaneous flap for lateral lower eyelid repair.
This study details a modified, single-pedicle Tripier flap technique.

Findings:

The modified Tripier flap utilizes redundant upper eyelid tissue for lateral lower eyelid defect repair.
This technique does not require orbicularis muscle inclusion or rely on specific innervation.

Implications:

The modified Tripier flap offers a valuable, tension-free reconstructive option for lateral eyelid defects.
This technique expands the reconstructive armamentarium for dermatologic surgeons.
Successful eyelid reconstruction is crucial for maintaining ocular function and aesthetic outcomes.
