The aim of the review is to describe the different techniques and materials available to
reconstruct the tarsoconjunctival layer of the eyelid; to analyze their indications, advantages …

Reconstruction of eyelid defects, especially the posterior lamella, remains challenging
because of its anatomical complexity, functional considerations, and aesthetic concerns. The …

In the presence of a full-thickness lower eyelid defect too large for reconstruction with a
tarsoconjunctival flap alone, the posterior lamella is often reconstructed with a free graft of …

Purpose The reconstruction of large (> 50%) upper eyelid margin defects can be technically
challenging, with multiple approaches described in the literature. We sought to review the …

Purpose: We present the novel approach of using pericranial flaps to reconstruct posterior
lamellar eyelid defects or to achieve lower eyelid elevation. This technique has been …

Repair of full-thickness defects of the lower eyelids poses a challenge because a graft in
combination with a flap is typically used to replace either the posterior or the anterior …

Background Eyelid defects can occur secondary to tumours, trauma, burns and congenital
factors. Among the most challenging aspects of eyelid reconstruction is the rebuilding of a …

The reconstruction of the posterior lamella is basically very important for a successful and
permanent eyelid reconstruction. Generally, there are no fixed rules for the technique …

BACKGROUND: Eyelid reconstruction represents a challenge because of the complexity of
this structure. Full-thickness eyelid defects demand the reconstruction of 2 fundamental …

Eyelid reconstruction is a complex topic. This review looks at articles from 1990 to 2018 on
eyelid reconstruction that had at least 10 patients and a mean 6 month follow-up. The …
