Subtotal reconstruction of the upper eyelid. A one-stage procedure eliminating temporary lid closure.
Subtotal reconstruction of the upper eyelid may be achieved by using a semicircular flap at the lateral canthus combined with a medial sliding tarsal flap covered with a skin graft. This is a single-stage procedure that does not necessitate prolonged closure of the lids postoperatively.
