ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this article is to describe successful reconstruction of upper eyelid defect using a composite graft from the contralateral eyelid. CASESUMMARY:
A 42-year-old-female patient presented with pigmented mass of the left upper tarsoconjunctiva. She underwent tumor resection and eyelid reconstruction with periosteal flap due to recurred malignant melanoma on her left lower conjunctiva 3 years ago. The left upper eyelid was reconstructed using a composite graft from the contralateral upper eyelid.CONCLUSIONS:
A satisfactory result, both functionally and cosmetically, was obtained during the follow-up period of 10 months. Composite graft isan ideal option for the reconstruction of eyelid defect which is difficult to correct successfully with other conventional methods.
