ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of "kite" flap in soft tissue defect of eyelid and periocular skin.Methods A triangular ("kite") flap was designed in close proximity to the defect after eyelid and periocular skin lesions.Under orbicular muscle or fascia,the flap with muscle or fascia was removed.Since 2011,we have selected 50 patients aged 16-70 years.Results All incisions were primary healing,no recurrence of the lesion and all flaps survived,Follow up for 1 to 5 years showed that the scar of the incision was not obvious,no tissue organ was displaced,and the form of the eyelid and eyebrow on both sides was naturally smooth and symmetrical.Conclusions For the soft tissue defect of the eyelid and periocular skin,not suitable for direct suture,the "kite" flap can be used for the repair,which is simple and easy,with ideal results.
