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

Abstract

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.
