title: [Possibilities in lower eyelid reconstruction].
abstract: Reconstruction of the lower lid is associated with aesthetic and functional problems. Different techniques are proposed. From 1985 to 1988, 17 patients have been treated by a bridge flap technique from the upper lid combined with a composite graft from the septum. In our opinion, this method is indicated in smaller through-and-through defects as well as in total lid reconstruction. The advantages of the technique are discussed and demonstrated.
