It is very hard to obtain ´accurate reconstruction in eyelid defects & deformities. Eyelid has special function and anatomy, so we should restore original function and anatomy.
We choose appropriate operation for reconstruction of. eyelid defect & defomity according to age, size of defect, severity of deformity, degree of functional defect
A total 51 of patients were reviewd from Aug. 1987 to Mar. 1994. Mean follow up period was 13 months
The classification was as follow : neoplasm excision : 2, trauma : 31, burn scar contracture : 5, cicatrical contracture : 2, congenital : 1
