Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Evaluation of the methods applied in there construction of eyelid defects following eyelid tumor excision.

METHODS

The medical records of patients who had undergone total excional biopsy between 2010-2016 were retrospectively reviewed. The age and sex, of the patients, the size of the defect after eyelid tumor excision, the method used to close the defect and the complications were evaluated.

RESULTS

Fifty male and fourteen female patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 51.54 (5-84). In the majority of patients with post-operative follow-up of 35 months (6-56 months), it was found that the method of closure as a primary using tissues around the eyelid was used in reconstruction.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

It has been shown that primer closure without the need for any graft flap tissue is sufficient in the closure of defects after surgery of small eyelid tumors. An appropriate anatomical result can be obtained with appropriate surgical technique in the eyelid tumors.
