title: Silicone gel sheet tie-over for skin graft on the eyelid following release of scar contracture.
abstract: A simple tie-over dressing using a silicone gel sheet gives firm fixation and allows direct inspection of the underlying grafted skin. Moreover, if haematoma or any complication is recognised, the sheet can be easily removed and reapplied.
