Abstract

Purpose: Eyelid reconstruction is a challenging procedure; The analysis of the lid defect and a
correct preoperative plan is mandatory. The aim of our study was to determine and assess the
aesthetic and functional outcomes of various techniques used in eyelid reconstruction after
periocular tumors excision.
Methods: Twenty-five eyes were included in the study and were
subjected to various techniques of eyelid reconstruction following periocular tumors excision.
Palpebral fissure measurements, lid movements, tear break up time test, degree of post operative
scar and patient satisfaction all were used to assess anatomical and functional success.
Results: Our study revealed high anatomical and functional success. Conclusion: Keeping in
mind the anatomy and morphology of eyelid and periorbital region, precise preoperative planning,
and meticulous surgical techniques help to optimize the Aesthetic and functional results.
