Avoiding the Hughes flap in lower eyelid reconstruction

Abstract: Lower eyelid reconstruction remains a challenge, especially for large or near total defects. Recent studies have explored modifications and alternatives to the conventional Hughes flap. New surgical procedures give surgeons more options. Taking into account the growing spectrum of reconstructive techniques, an individualized approach may facilitate better functional and esthetic outcomes.

“…Marcet et al recently published a review on surgical practices. They classified defects of less than 50 % of the eyelid length as small defects and those of more than 50 % as large [5]. Therefore, our study classifies large defects with full-thickness lid margin involvement.…”

“…Marcet et al [5] concluded that an eye closure for 6-8 weeks is necessary in the tarsoconjunctival flap. We find the dissection of the vascular bridge after 2 weeks is safe, as already described by Mc Nab in 1996 and 2001 [8,9].…”

“…El Colgajo de Hughes (CH) es la técnica quirúrgica de elección para los tumores de gran tamaño del párpado inferior, ya sean primarios o recidivados. Consiste en la reconstrucción de la lamela posterior (plano tarso-conjuntival) del defecto del párpado inferior con un colgajo pediculado vascularizado tarso-conjuntival obtenido del párpado superior ipsilateral y reconstrucción de la lamela anterior (plano musculo-cutáneo) por un injerto de piel o colgajo de avance lateral (6). Esta opción quirúrgica, al proporcionar un colgajo tarso-conjuntival desde el párpado superior, cuenta con su propio suministro de sangre, puesto que permanece conectado al párpado superior durante 4 semanas, facilitando así la reconstitución correcta del plano mucoso (7).…”

“…Esta opción quirúrgica, al proporcionar un colgajo tarso-conjuntival desde el párpado superior, cuenta con su propio suministro de sangre, puesto que permanece conectado al párpado superior durante 4 semanas, facilitando así la reconstitución correcta del plano mucoso (7). Como principal inconveniente destaca la complejidad de la técnica y que requiere un cierre ocular temporal (6). La principal indicación del colgajo de Hughes es la reparación de defectos que abarquen una extensión comprendida entre el 50 y el 100% del párpado inferior en su margen horizontal 8 .…”
