title: A multispecialty approach to the excision and reconstruction of eyelid tumors.
abstract: An ongoing study indicates that the Mohs' fresh tissue technique of tumor removal followed by eyelid reconstruction may be the most efficacious management of eyelid malignancies. Forty-seven recurrent, invasive or large eyelid and canthal tumors were excised by this method followed by eyelid reconstruction. The advantages of this approach are (1) a high cure rate, (2) conservation of tissue, (3) reduced operating room time, and (4) maximum utilization of specialty training.
