    Surgical reconstruction using nasal lid tissue effectively treats lower eyelid tumors causing epiphora. This method restores lacrimal system function and provides good cosmetic outcomes for patients with basaliomas.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Palpebral tumors can obstruct the lacrimal canal, leading to epiphora (excessive tearing).
    • Surgical intervention is often required for reconstruction of the lacrimal system in such cases.

    Observation:

    • A novel surgical technique involves transplanting the nasal portion of the upper eyelid to reconstruct defects in the nasal lower eyelid.
    • This procedure includes the transplantation of a segment of the canaliculus to restore lacrimal drainage.

    Findings:

    • Three patients with lower eyelid basaliomas underwent this reconstructive surgery.
    • All patients achieved satisfactory cosmetic results and functional restoration of the lacrimal system.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable solution for complex lower eyelid defects caused by tumors.
    • It highlights the potential for using adjacent tissues in reconstructive surgery for ophthalmic conditions.
