This study explores a novel composite flap technique for full-thickness eyelid defect reconstruction. While partial skin necrosis and ciliary loss occurred, the tarsoconjunctival layer reconstruction yielded good functional and morphological outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Full-thickness eyelid defects require optimal reconstruction methods.
  • Autologous eyelid tissue is considered the gold standard for reconstruction.
  • Novel techniques are being explored to improve reconstructive outcomes.

Observation:

  • A new surgical technique utilizing a composite flap with vascular pedicles was employed.
  • The inferior medial palpebral artery served as the nutrient vessel for flap preparation.
  • The technique was applied in two cases of full-thickness eyelid defect reconstruction.

Findings:

  • Partial skin necrosis was observed in the composite flap post-surgery.
  • Ciliary loss was noted following the reconstructive procedure.

  • Successful reconstruction of the tarsoconjunctival layer was achieved in both cases.

    • Implications:

    • Despite partial flap necrosis and ciliary loss, the technique demonstrated potential for functional and morphological restoration.
    • This approach may offer an alternative for complex eyelid defect reconstruction.
    • Further research is warranted to refine the technique and minimize complications.
