Reconstruction of an Extensive Periocular and Bilamellar Defect of the Lower and Upper Eyelid Using Local Regional and Free Chondral Graft Techniques: A Case Report

摘要

A 65-year-old female patient with a histologically confirmed basal cell carcinoma located at the right lateral lower eyelid was referred for surgical tumour excision and reconstruction of the periorbital area. The periocular zone was reconstructed in a two-staged procedure with bilamellar repair of both eyelids. An autologous chondral graft, mucosal advancement techniques and a periosteum-temporalis fascia hinged turnover flap were used for reconstruction of the posterior lamellae. A modified Tenzel flap and a paramedian forehead flap were used for reconstruction of the anterior lamellae. An acceptable functional and aesthetic outcome of the reconstruction was achieved.
