Soft tissue expansion effectively reconstructs eyelid defects by creating adjacent skin. This surgical technique offers a promising alternative for periocular reconstruction, improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Soft tissue expansion is crucial for reconstruction when tissue is insufficient.
  • This technique generates skin matching the defect's adjacent area.
  • Its application in repairing large periocular defects is detailed.

Observation:

  • Subcutaneous reservoirs were progressively inflated with fluid over weeks.
  • Expanded tissue was utilized to create local flaps for defect resurfacing.
  • The procedure was performed on six patients for eyelid reconstruction.

Findings:

  • Successful reconstruction of eyelid defects using expanded tissue was achieved.
  • Complications included minor tissue necrosis and hematoma formation.
