Hard palate mucosal grafts in oculoplastic surgery: donor site lessons

Treatment of Lower Eyelid Retraction by Retractor Release and Posterior Lamellar Grafting: An Analysis of 659 Eyelids in 400 Patients

“…They offer appropriate tensile strength, flexible consistency, and ease of obtaining ample graft material. [11][12][13][14][15][16] More recently, Brock et al 17 used autogenous dermis skin grafts in lower eyelid reconstruction. Sullivan and Dailey.…”

Transposição da rima palpebral em ptose miogênica mitocondrial

“…Há técnicas descritas utilizando a cartilagem auricular (26) ou o pálato duro (27)(28)(29) para a reconstrução da lamela posterior da pálpebra e elevação da PI. Apesar de serem tecidos autó-genos, são considerados um segundo local cirúrgico, não apresentam as mesmas propriedades do tarso e nosso objetivo foi utilizar o tarso ressecado da PS.…”

Auricular Cartilage Grafting to Correct Lower Conjunctival Fornix Retraction and Eyelid Malposition in Anophthalmic Patients

“…Autogenous hard-palate mucosa is an effective eyelid spacer and can provide good support for the lower eyelid; however, hemorrhages and fistulas at the donor site have been described after surgery. 18,20,32 Although upper eyelid tarsus may be useful in correcting retraction of the lower eyelid in anophthalmic patients, the amount of donor tissue is limited, and may be insufficient in treating patients with severe fornix retraction. In addition, the use of upper eyelid tarsus necessitates harvesting on the upper eyelid on the affected side or on a healthy eyelid on the contralateral side, and this harvesting can result in secondary retraction of the upper eyelid and postoperative lagophthalmos.…”
