Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Eyelid reconstruction presents unique challenges in achieving functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  • The Hughes' flap is a common technique for lower eyelid reconstruction, but its versatility can be limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of intentionally buttonholing the Hughes' flap in eyelid reconstruction.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this modified surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study was conducted on patients undergoing eyelid reconstruction using the Hughes' flap.
  • The surgical technique involved intentionally creating a buttonhole in the flap.

Main Results:

  • The buttonhole maneuver significantly increased the adaptability and versatility of the Hughes' flap.

  • No clinically apparent damage to the flaps or the reconstructed eyelids was observed post-procedure.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intentionally buttonholing the Hughes' flap is a safe and effective modification for eyelid reconstruction.
    • This technique enhances surgical options without compromising the integrity of the flap or the eyelid reconstruction.
