  • Title: Microscopically controlled excision of malignant neoplasms on and around eyelids followed by immediate surgical reconstruction.
    Author: Ceilley RI, Anderson RL.
    Journal: J Dermatol Surg Oncol; 1978 Jan; 4(1):55-62. PubMed ID: 618935.
    Abstract:
    Mohs' fresh-tissue technique of ablating malignant neoplasms is a highly reliable, yet conservative method of treating cutaneous cancers. Removal of such lesions on eyelids by this technique, followed by immediate reconstruction is a most efficacious way to manage them. Forty-seven cases of recurrent, invasive, or large carcinomas on eyelids and canthi were excised by this method followed by immediate reconstruction. The excisions were done by dermatologists specializing in Mohs' techniques and the reconstruction by an oculoplastic surgeon. The advantages of the combined procedures are: 1) high cure rate, 2) conservation of tissue, 3) reduced operating time, and 4) maximum utilization of specialized competence.
