  • Title: Treatment of bilateral severe eyelid burns with skin grafts: an odyssey.
    Author: Mandrekas AD, Zambacos GJ, Anastasopoulos A.
    Journal: Burns; 2002 Feb; 28(1):80-6. PubMed ID: 11834336.
    Abstract:
    Eyelid burns occur in about 10% of thermal injuries and pose a considerable challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. A consensus on a treatment regime has not been reached and plastic surgeons are divided on the subject. A case of severe bilateral eyelid burns was treated with full- and split-thickness skin grafts. The patient was first operated at 2 years post-injury, and a total of 5 operations in 5 years were necessary to address recurrent ectropion of both upper and lower eyelids.
