Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resection of upper eyelid tumour, benign or malignant, is one of the most common cause of upper eyelid defect, followed by trauma. Considering the normal eyelid structure, reconstruction of anterior and posterior lamella of eyelid for proper functional and cosmetic results is quite a challenging work. Upper eyelid reconstruction is done by various methods depending on age of the patient, location of defect and amount of eyelid defect. Aim-To study the clinical outcome of Tenzel flap in upper eyelid reconstruction in cases with 30-50% of Full-thickness Upper eyelid defect. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted from April 2013-April 2016, in BGS GIMS Medical College and Hospital that included 12 patients with 30-50% of Full-thickness Upper eyelid defect which were reconstructed by Tenzel flap. They were followed up for one year postoperatively. RESULTS In our study, out of 12 patients, the causes for 30-50% Full-thickness Upper eyelid defect was due to excision of benign meibomian gland tumour in 7 patients and ocular trauma in 5 patients. All patients underwent Tenzel flap upper eyelid reconstruction without any intraoperative or postoperative complication. During followup period, no recurrence of tumour, lagophthalmos, hypertrophic scar or abnormally thick lid appearance was noted. Results were good in all patients cosmetically and functionally after one year of followup. CONCLUSION Tenzel flap in upper eyelid reconstruction is a good technique for 30-50% of Full-thickness Upper eyelid defect with no complication and acceptable cosmetic and functional outcome.
