Respecting the aesthetic units in the surgery of palpebral malignancy

Summary The authors, based on their own experience in this field suggest their own therapeutical view which can be described as follows: a much more frequent use of plastic procedures using sliding flaps from the cheek, associated usually with chondromucosal free grafts from the septum, will give not only much better aesthetic results but also a better guarantee against neoplastic recurrence due to the possibility of being able to carry out a much larger ablation.
