Eyelid and periorbital reconstruction in Babylon City

Abstract EN

To show our work of eyelid and periorbital reconstruction over the period Jan.

2000 – Dec.

2005 in Babylon city.

In this outcome study we survey the results of surgeries done on 50 cases of eyelid and periorbital skin loss.

We investigated the results and complications.

Most of our work was direct closure with or without canthotomy or reconstructing the defect with the use of local flaps (advancement, Z plasty, Limberg flap and forehead flap).

In two of the cases, we used free oral mucous membrane graft to line the skin flap.

The results ranged between excellent and acceptable with adequate patient satisfaction with all the results in varied degrees.

This work is a step forward in this task in Babylon city.
