Modified Mustardé and Superolateral Periosteal Flaps for Full-Thickness Defects of Medial and Central Lower Eyelid
Pattana Ongkasuwan
Abstract:Background
Reconstructing full-thickness defects involving 50% to 75% of the horizontal length of the lower eyelid after medial and central full-thickness block resection can be challenging. As a disadvanatge, 1-stage reconstructions may require a free graft reconstruction of the posterior lamella. In addition, 2-stage reconstructions are associated with several complications, including erythema, and the eye must be temporarily closed after surgery.
