| Title | Lower eyelid reconstruction following Mohs surgery. | | Author(s) | Schessler MJ, McClellan WT | | Institution | West Virginia University School of Medicine, WV, USA. | | Source | W V Med J 2009 Sep-Oct; 105(5):19-23. | | Abstract | Lower eyelid defects resulting from Mohs micrographic surgery can be challenging to repair. These repairs are fraught with potential complication due to the lower eyelid's complex anatomy and defect variability. A single "cookie-cutter" treatment regimen does not exist because patients and defects vary. Surgical closure techniques include primary closure, eyelid advancement, rotational flaps, full thickness skin grafts, and/or allografts. We present a discussion of lower eyelid reconstruction including relevant anatomy, physical signs, and treatment options with examples. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
