Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe successful reconstruction of upper eyelid defect using a composite graft from the contralateral eyelid.
Case summary: A 42-year-old-female patient presented with pigmented mass of the left upper tarsoconjunc- tiva. 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. A case of eyelid reconstruction using a composite graft from the contralateral eyelid is herein reported with good functional and cosmetic results.
