Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Central eyelid defects require specialized reconstruction.
The Tenzel semicircular flap is a recognized technique for eyelid repair.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the Tenzel semicircular flap for extensive lower eyelid defects.
To identify modifications for utilizing the flap in larger defect sizes.

Main Methods:

Surgical technique involving the Tenzel semicircular flap.
Identification and severance of lower eyelid retractors and inferior orbital septum.
Flap mobilization and advancement for lower eyelid reconstruction.

Main Results:

The Tenzel flap can be successfully used for lower eyelid defects exceeding 60%.

Related Experiment Videos

Severing the lower eyelid retractors is crucial for flap mobilization.

This technique simplifies reconstruction compared to more complex procedures.

Conclusions:

The Tenzel semicircular flap is a versatile and effective option for large central lower eyelid defects.
Modification of the technique allows for broader application in reconstructive surgery.
This approach can potentially avoid the need for more complex reconstructive methods.
