Archives of Ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
|August 1, 1977
Summary
This study presents a novel lower eyelid reconstruction technique using a temporal-zygomatic flap and an upper eyelid tarsal pedicle flap. This method effectively restores eyelid shape and function without requiring nasal septal cartilage.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Plastic Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Lower eyelid defects often require complex reconstruction.
- Existing methods may involve cartilage grafts or result in functional and aesthetic compromise.
