- Abstract
- Background The reconstruction of defects in the lower eyelid region is prone to complications such as ectropion and epiphora. This area is also aesthetically important; therefore, operations should be carried out with caution. We introduce a simple and easy surgical approach for the repair of small to moderate-sized lower eyelid defects. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients who underwent lower eyelid defect reconstruction using a sickle-shaped transposition flap in 2018 or 2019. Photographs were taken at each visit, and the Vancouver Scar Scale was used to evaluate residual marks every 3 months for 1 year. Patients reported their subjective satisfaction levels on a visual analogue scale that ranged from 0 to 10. Results A total of nine patients were included. No flap necrosis, ectropion, epiphora, or other complications were observed. Among the eight patients with skin cancer, no recurrence was noted during the follow-up period. The mean Vancouver Scar Scale scores were 5.50±0.99 at 3 months postoperatively, 4.61±0.85 at 6 months postoperatively, 3.05±0.80 at 9 months postoperatively, and 1.11±0.58 at 12 months postoperatively. The mean overall patient satisfaction rating was 9.11±0.78 (as rated on the visual analogue scale). Conclusions In the reconstruction of lower eyelid defects, the sickle-shaped transposition flap could be a simple, fast, and aesthetically favorable surgical option.
