Abstract

In the past 3 years, 85 basal cell carcinomas were treated in our clinic using eyelid reconstruction. During the same period, 54 lids were reconstructed after other diseases, mostly after chemical burns. In one of the 54 patients, the upper lid was reconstructed using a tarso-marginal graft after congenital coloboma. In 31 of the 85 patients with basal-well carcinoma (36%), so much tarsus was lost that a transplantation of tarsus was necessary. Fifteen of the 31 patients were treated with a Hughes-plasty and 16 using a tarsomarginal graft, two in the upper lid. In eight of the remaining 16 cases, the defect was less than one half of length, so that the graft was taken from the second lower lid. In the remaining eight patients, the defect was two thirds of length or longer. In six cases, a 7 mm-graft was taken from the upper lid. As the tarsus from the upper lid measures 10 mm and is thus twice as big as the lower lid tarsus, it was divided into two grafts, resulting in two grafts measuring 7 x 5 mm. They were placed in the lower lid ("double tarsomarginal graft"). The former lower part with lashes was placed in the middle of the lower lid, the former upper part peripherally. In two patients, the defect was healed with three tar...Continue Reading
