The use of preputial skin to replace conjunctiva and to correct ectropion

The prepuce can provide a large amount of soft delicate skin suitable for replacement of lost conjunctiva or in the surgical treatment of ectropion. Three typical examples of its uses are described: two of ectropion following burns and one case with a carcinoma of the conjunctive which was excised and replaced with a free graft from the inner lining layer of the prepuce.
