Bipedicle tarsoconjunctival flap.
A modification of a classical Hughes tarsoconjunctival flap for replacement of the posterior layers of a lower lid is described. The difference from the Hughes flap is that the blood supply is maintained through two tubed pedicles of conjunctiva and Muller's muscle, rather than an apron of conjunctiva.
