title: Semicircle flap reconstruction "plus".
abstract: The semicircle flap is an excellent method for reconstructing upper and lower eyelid defects. The procedure may be combined with recognized techniques such as skin grafts, tarsal flaps, and other surgical manipulations. Five such additions to the semicircle flap are described. These combined techniques can expand the range of the procedure, increase its versatility, and improve the results.
