Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastic Surgery

Background:

  • Eyelid tumor excision requires careful management.
  • Reconstruction timing after tumor removal is a critical consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of delayed reconstruction after eyelid tumor excision.
  • To evaluate safety and adverse events associated with delayed eyelid reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case-series of 14 outpatients undergoing eyelid tumor excision.
  • Tumor excision with 4mm margin, followed by compressive patching.
  • Reconstruction performed 1-2 weeks post-excision, with histological clearance assessment.

Main Results:

  • Delayed reconstruction (1-2 weeks) after eyelid tumor excision was feasible.
  • No unusual major adverse events were observed before, during, or after reconstruction.
  • Histological clearance was achieved in all cases, with some requiring further excision.

Conclusions:

  • Delayed reconstruction is a viable option after eyelid tumor excision when necessary.
  • A delay of one to two weeks for reconstruction appears safe, without significant adverse events.
