Upper eyelid reconstruction: a short report of an eyelid defect following a thermal burn

While the principles of eyelid reconstruction are well-established, achieving good functional and aesthetic reconstruction remains challenging. This communication presents a technique that we used on a young patient with an eyelid defect following a thermal burn. The patient was operated on to reconstruct the entire upper eyelid using, as a posterior lamella, a mucochondrial autologous graft taken from the ala of the nose as a tarsus and conjunctiva substitutes that were sutured to the Elevator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis and muscle. On the other hand, to reconstruct the anterior lamella, which consists of skin and muscle, the surgeons used a myocutaneous temporal flap taken from the region immediately lateral to the external canthus of the palpebral region, and which, after being isolated following a drawing of the upper eyelid to be reconstructed, was rotated and then sutured to the posterior lamella using the orbicularis oculi muscle as a pedicle.     

A combined flap reconstruction for full-thickness defects of the medial canthal region.

The medial canthus is an aesthetically and functionally important area. Adequate consideration of the local anatomy is essential when reconstructing this area. We developed a combined flap technique with a simple combination of standard flaps for the treatment of extensive defects of the nose and upper and lower eyelids, including full-thickness medial canthus defect. In our technique, a median forehead island flap is used for the nasal region, the anterior surface of the eyelid is reconstructed along aesthetic unit, and the posterior surface is reconstructed with a palatal mucoperiosteal graft. A cheek flap is then used for the reconstruction of the lower eyelid. When reconstructing a small defect of the upper eyelid, the upper eyelid is advanced, while a V-Y advancement flap within the upper eyelid is used for a large defect. To reconstruct the acute angle of the medial canthus, a 0.3 mm titanium wire was passed through the tip of the tarsal plate of the upper and lower eyelids to be reconstructed and was fixed in the perforated nasal bone on the affected side. Using this technique, the acute angle of the medial canthus is well preserved after surgery, and is located symmetrically with its counterpart on the intact side. Our technique provides good reconstructive results and should serve as a valid alternative for the reconstruction of this area.     

The sanctity of the upper lid in lower eyelid reconstruction questioned. A modification of a lid sharing procedure with a long-term follow-up

Sharing techniques using the upper eyelid to reconstruct the lower one have been criticised for causing distortion of the normal upper lid leading to corneal exposure and possible visual disturbance, and for creating second-rate lids. A modification of previously described tarsoconjunctival flap techniques is described which minimises the known complications of earlier methods. A flap of conjunctiva alone is mobilised from the upper eyelid and covered with a full thickness skin graft. A second minor procedure to divide the flap from its donor site is necessary 2 weeks later. Forty-three patients over a 25-year period have undergone total lower eyelid reconstruction with this modified technique and are reviewed with some illustrative cases. Total or subtotal lower eyelid reconstruction is most commonly performed following tumour resection and only occasionally to correct congenital or traumatic defects. The surgical techniques available still cause controversy (Byrd, 1983). An upper lid sharing technique has been criticised for possibly causing a shortened or distorted normal lid (Mustardé, 1981). A modification of this method is described which has been used for over 25 years and has reduced the morbidity of the procedure, leading to acceptable cosmetic and functional long-term results.     

Use of the subcutaneously based nasolabial flap in lower eyelid reconstruction.

A 54-year-old male had a history of approximately 18 months, with a diagnostically proven squamous cell carcinoma of the lower left eyelid. The full-thickness subtotal defect was reconstructed with the Hughes procedure (tarsoconjunctival flap) combined with a subcutaneously based nasolabial flap for skin coverage. To our knowledge, the use of the subcutaneous based nasolabial flap in this context has not been described previously. Use of the nasolabial flap may be considered for eyelid reconstruction.     

Eyelid reconstruction using a hard palate mucoperiosteal graft combined with a V-Y subcutaneously pedicled flap.

Full-thickness eyelid defects after tumour ablation require the reconstruction of two layers, the anterior and posterior lamellae. Eyelids were successfully reconstructed after removal of malignant tumours in four patients using a hard palate mucoperiosteal graft combined with a curved V-Y subcutaneously pedicled flap. Although there have been some reports of hard palate mucosal grafts for reconstruction of the posterior lamella, the graft is not sufficiently rigid to support the reconstructed eyelid without the aid of supporting materials such as cartilage grafts. The hard palate mucoperiosteal graft seems to be rigid enough to support the reconstructed eyelid without the use of cartilage or other supporting materials. The subcutaneously pedicled V-Y advancement flap is useful for reconstruction of the anterior lamella in partial eyelid defects. We used it with a modified curved design to allow easy advancement and to make postoperative scars inconspicuous.     

Fricke supraorbital flap for reconstruction of total lower eyelid defects

Summary Split or full thickness eyelid defects resulting from tumor destruction or surgical excision present a dilemma for plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Full thickness eyelid replacement requires composite grafting of the skin, together with tarsal support of its substitute and mucosa. The flap described by Fricke in 1829 was used for reconstruction of anterior lamella in six lower eyelid defects. In three of our cases chondromucosal grafts taken from nasal septum were utilized for posterior lamella repair. The results have been satisfactory from a functional and cosmetic standpoint.     

Combined rotation and advancement flap reconstruction for a defect of the upper lip: 2 cases

Many types of upper lip reconstruction have been introduced to treat defects after a tumor excision or trauma. The authors treated two cases of upper lip defects. A 35-year-old woman presented with a squamous cell carcinoma of the left upper lip that had invaded the corner of the mouth. After resecting the tumor, the defect was 3.7×3.5 cm in size. A 52-year-old woman presented with a dog bite of the right upper lip. The defect measured 4.0×2.2 cm in size. The two cases were reconstructed by combined rotation and advancement of a cheek flap. This technique produced a good functional outcome that allowed for oral competence and created an opening of adequate size. A combination of rotation and an advancement flap can be used to treat upper lip defects in a single-stage procedure. This approach produces a good functional and cosmetic outcome.     

Total upper and lower eyelid replacement following thermal burn using an ALT flap--a case report.

Upper and lower eyelid unilateral full thickness reconstruction in a patient with no available adjacent tissues because of burns or trauma sequelae is a surgical challenge. A case of severe thermal burn with unilateral complete defect of both upper and lower eyelids is reported, together with the surgical technique of reconstruction. The patient was a 65-year-old man who sustained deep burns of the head and neck with upper airway burns after falling into a fireplace. After tracheostomy and acute resuscitation, he underwent escharectomy and coverage of his head and neck burns with split thickness skin grafts and with full thickness skin grafts to the eyelids. There was incomplete take of the skin grafts to the upper and lower left eyelids. In these areas, infection and loss of the tarsum and subsequent eyelid retraction led to exposure keratitis and blurred vision. After healing and respiratory rehabilitation, he was referred to our microsurgical unit for upper and lower eyelid reconstruction. A free forearm flap was first considered, but the Allen test was negative. Therefore, a free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap was chosen to provide skin eyelid coverage. The flap was harvested including fascia and centred on one perforator. The levator muscle stump and conjunctiva from both upper and lower cul-de-sacs were dissected and advanced. Flap vessels were anastomosed to the superficial temporal artery and vein. The conjunctiva and the fascia replaced the new inner upper and lower lamella. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of a perforator flap, the ALT flap, in full thickness reconstruction of both upper and lower eyelids and may be a reliable option in such selected and challenging situations.     

Aesthetic aspects of reconstructive surgery of the lower lid

Aesthetic repair of the lower eyelid should use palpebral skin and restrict the cutaneous scars to the orbital area. Except in young patients or those having previously undergone a blepharoplasty, it is usually possible to raise a 10- or 12-mm-wide flap from the upper eyelid. The use of such a flap lined with an alar chondromucosal graft is advocated in a one-stage procedure. This graft ensures a good functional result and the stability of the new eyelid because the cartilage is as high in its bulk as the lid. In spite of histologic differences, where the tarsus is not a cartilage and the inner lining of the ala nasi is not actually a mucosa, the alar chondromucosal graft is very much like the tarsoconjunctival complex. When the alar defect is accurately repaired, no deformation of the nose results.

Lower eyelid reconstruction in a paediatric face: a one-stage aesthetic approach using the versatile temporoparietal fascia flap

There are many different lower eyelid reconstruction techniques defined in the literature. Almost all of the published techniques have been described on elderly patients and use upper eyelid, periorbital or facial tissues as donor sites. However, in case of a paediatric patient or a young adult who has a crease-free and scarless face, camouflage of the facial donor-site scar is usually impossible. In order to avoid possible facial donor-site scars and upper eyelid deformities, a technique which uses the temporoparietal fascia (TPF) flap as the framework of a new eyelid was used for the reconstruction of an adolescent patient's postoncologic defect. The inner side of the flap was covered with nasal septal chondromucosal graft and the external side was covered with a retroauricular full-thickness skin graft. Eighteen months of unproblematic follow-up of this overlooked usage of the versatile TPF flap indicates that our technique has proved successful in terms of good functional and cosmetic outcome that is obtained at one stage.     

Eyelid Reconstruction Using a Vascularized Composite Flap

For reconstruction of full-thickness eyelid defects, it is optimal to use the eyelid. As a new surgical technique, we reconstructed these defects using a composite flap with vascular pedicles. A composite flap was prepared using the inferior medial palpebral artery as a nutrient vessel for reconstruction in two cases. After surgery, partial necrosis of the skin in the composite flap occurred, and ciliary loss was observed; however, the tarsoconjunctival layer could be reconstructed, and good results were obtained in terms of function and morphology.     

Scalp, skull, and dura reconstruction on an emergency basis

Severe cranial trauma caused by an industrial accident resulted in loss of scalp, skull, dura, and brain tissue in the left frontal region of a 55-year-old man. Successful one-stage total reconstruction of the defect was accomplished using a patch of fascia lata, autogenous split rib graft, and a free forearm flap on an emergency basis. A ten-month follow-up showed uneventful recovery and a good cosmetic result.     

Reconstruction of the levator function and conjunctiva using an inferiorly based orbital septal flap for subtotal full-thickness defects of the upper eyelid: two cases of ocular sebaceous carcinoma

Without using the lower eyelid, functional reconstruction of the tarsoconjunctival layer is challenging for subtotal full-thickness defects of the upper eyelid. In 2 cases of ocular sebaceous carcinoma, the levator function and conjunctiva were reconstructed using the inferiorly based orbital septal flap and conchal cartilage graft. The raw surface of the orbital septal flap was epithelialized within 14 days postoperatively. The new upper eyelid with a stable lid margin could open and close properly. Our surgical procedures may be available in the case that the lower eyelid is not usable.
