  • Title: Lower eyelid reconstruction by tarsal transposition.
    Author: Hewes EH, Sullivan JH, Beard C.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1976 Apr; 81(4):512-4. PubMed ID: 1266932.
    Abstract:
    We reconstructed the lower eyelids of 13 patients using a tarsoconjunctival flap from the upper eyelid. The laterally based pedicle flap permitted a one-stage repair without prolonged occlusion of the eye. The technique was best suited to lesions involving the lateral aspect of the lower eyelid, but can be applied to lesions of the central and medial eyelid. The functional and cosmetic results were equal or superior to tarsoconjunctival advancement flaps.
