Summary
The V-T plasty technique effectively removes and reconstructs lower eyelid lesions. A modified curved V-T plasty was introduced, with 32 successful operations performed without complications.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Plastic Surgery
- Dermatology
Background:
- Lower eyelid lesions require effective surgical removal and reconstruction.
- The V-T plasty technique is a known method for lower eyelid reconstruction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To demonstrate the V-T plasty technique for lower eyelid lesions.
- To introduce a modified curved V-T plasty design.
- To report outcomes of V-T plasty for lower eyelid reconstruction.
Main Methods:
- Surgical excision of lower eyelid lesions.
- Reconstruction using the V-T plasty technique.
- Photographic documentation of a case using a curved V-T plasty design.
Main Results:
- The V-T plasty technique is suitable for lesions in the middle third of the lower eyelid.
- A novel curved V-T plasty design was utilized.
- 32 operations were performed with no reported complications.
Conclusions:
- The V-T plasty technique, including the curved modification, is a safe and effective method for lower eyelid lesion removal and reconstruction.
- The technique offers good cosmetic and functional outcomes.
