Oncoplastic lower eyelid reconstruction outcomes depend on flap trajectory. Horizontal flaps show significantly lower rates of ectropion and ptosis compared to vertical flaps, improving functional results.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Plastic Surgery
Oncology

Background:

Oncoplastic lower eyelid reconstruction is complex, requiring precision to avoid complications like ectropion and ptosis.
Existing research lacks detailed comparisons of reconstructive methods regarding outcomes and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate if the chosen reconstruction method impacts aesthetic and functional results in lower eyelid reconstruction.
To compare horizontal and vertical flap trajectories for oncoplastic lower eyelid repair.

Main Methods:

A 10-year retrospective review of oncoplastic lower eyelid reconstructions was conducted.
Patient data, diagnoses, and reconstruction methods were analyzed.
Postoperative outcomes were subjectively assessed for cosmesis and symmetry.

Main Results:

Horizontal trajectory flaps demonstrated statistically significant lower rates of ectropion and ptosis compared to vertical flaps.
Subjective evaluations indicated better overall appearance with horizontal flaps.

Conclusions:

The flap's main trajectory is a critical factor in oncoplastic lower eyelid reconstruction outcomes.
Horizontal flaps are recommended for better functional and aesthetic results, reducing complication rates.
