Traumatic eyelid defects: a review of reconstructive options.
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 2009 January
PURPOSE: Reconstruction of eyelid defects sustained from trauma can cause significant morbidity if not properly treated. Various local flaps are available to aid in this reconstruction.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred twelve patients sustained facial lacreations. Of these, 33 patients sustained injury to the eyelids. Six patients had significantly missing tissue, which required treatment with flaps.
RESULTS: All patients had reconstruction of their eyelid defects. Three of the 6 patients (50%) with avulsive-type defects required a staged approach.
CONCLUSIONS: For large avulsive eyelid defects, local and rigid flaps provide adequate reconstruction. For very large defects, a staged approach is recommended.
