“…The latter is distinguished as a solely cutaneous flap for transposition, monopediculated, from the supraorbital region of the frontal region to the palpebral region. 89 It is worthwhile to note that defects affecting one-third to half of the lower eyelid can be repaired with a unipedicled flap. In contrast, faults affecting the entire lower eyelid can be reconstructed with a bipedicled flap.…”

“…The modified Tripier flap must not be confused with the Fricke flap. The latter is distinguished as a solely cutaneous flap for transposition, monopediculated, from the supraorbital region of the frontal region to the palpebral region 89 . It is worthwhile to note that defects affecting one-third to half of the lower eyelid can be repaired with a unipedicled flap.…”

We describe the use of modified Tripier flap for reconstruction of a surgical
defect in the lower eyelid region, after excision of nodular basal cell
carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
