Abstract
|
|
|
Eyelid ectropion was the most common late sequelae encountered in our experiences following trauma or thermal burn around the eyelid. Those deformities must be corrected early to preserve visual acuity.
Split-skin graft to the upper eyelid and full thickness skin graft to the lower lid have been emphasized to the most reliable methods for correction of the cicatrical ectropion.
However, there is tendency toward contracture under these grafts, and the ectropion recur and reoperation or additional sugery required.
To solve these problems, we have corrected the cicatrical ectropion with free composite graft of skin and cartilage from the concha of the auricle.
The results of these composite grafts are favorable without recurrence.
