The Hughes procedure offers excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes for lower eyelid reconstruction after basal cell carcinoma removal. This two-stage technique, though requiring eyelid closure, is a reliable method for ophthalmic plastic surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) frequently affects the eyelids, necessitating surgical reconstruction.
  • Lower eyelid defects require specialized techniques to preserve function and aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the Hughes procedure for lower eyelid reconstruction.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of the Hughes procedure in BCC removal cases.

Main Methods:

  • The Hughes procedure involves a two-stage tarsoconjunctival flap sharing technique.
  • The eyelid is closed for 2-8 weeks during the reconstruction process.

Main Results:

  • The Hughes procedure yields outstanding cosmetic results.
