title: Acute and reconstructive management of the burned eyelid.
abstract: Introduced in 1875, the use of full-thickness skin graft for release of a lower eyelid ectropion secondary to burn contractures remains a mainstay of current burn treatment. The authors address issues such as acute care, the exposed cornea, scar management, and surgical management of eyelid deformities.
