title: [Problems of surgical therapy after irradiation for tumors of the eyelids (author's transl)].
abstract: We discuss 10 consecutive cases which have had surgery after irradiation for tumors of the eyelids.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Reasons for surgical treatment after irradiation: 1. Relaps within the irradiated area. Conditions of tissue prohibit additional irradiation. 2. No effect of irradiation. 3. Relaps in deeper layers or further growth, not noticed during irradiation. Additional irradiation ruinous for the eye. - Surgical problems after irradiation: 1. Inadequacy of usual techniques. 2. More extensive surgery then primary excision of tumor.
