[Eyelid reconstruction after full-thickness resections in benign and malignant tumors]

Full-thickness eyelid defect closure requires appropriate reconstruction, function recovery and acceptable cosmetic result. The aim of the study was to study the results of eyelid reconstruction after full-thickness resections in different benign and malignant tumors. 241 patients (63,5% females, 36,5% males) who underwent full-thickness resectioh of the lower or the upper eyelid due to tumor with primary defect closure were enrolled in the study. Eyelid resection was performed within visually clear tissue 2 mm away of the tumor border in benign and at least 3 mm in malignant lesions. Presented results of different techniques of eyelid reconstruction after full-thickness resections show good functional and cosmetic rehabilitation of patients and low complication rate.
