  • Title: Reconstruction of the tarsus-conjunctival layer using a venous wall graft.
    Author: Barbera C, Manzoni R, Dodaro L, Ferraro M, Pella P.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2008; 24(5):352-6. PubMed ID: 18806653.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The repair of full-thickness defects of the eyelids poses a challenge, because the reconstruction of the tarsus-conjunctival layer often results in aesthetically and functionally unsatisfactory outcomes. The authors' aim was to create a new method to repair large tarsus-conjunctival losses and to examine the outcomes of its use. METHODS: Seven patients with invasive carcinoma of the eyelids underwent a venous wall graft. RESULTS: All patients had good to outstanding results and no complications. CONCLUSION: This new reconstruction of the deeper layer of the eyelid provides a useful alternative to traditional methods (composite grafts and full-thickness flaps). Our new surgical technique is easy to execute and has good functional and aesthetic results.
