Eyelid reconstruction
Summary
We present a rational approach to managing common eyelid defects. Techniques including lamellar closure, Tenzel flap, Hughes flap, cheek rotation and grafting are described in detail. The need to tailor the approach to the patient is emphasized, considering factors such as patient comorbidity and tissue laxity. A detailed description of eyelid anatomy and discussion of aesthetics is presented to help surgeons provide patients with an optimal outcome.
