The cutler-beard bridge flap technique with use of donor sclera for upper eyelid reconstruction.
We evaluated the Cutler-Beard bridge flap technique with the use of donor sclera for upper eyelid reconstruction. The right upper eyelid of a 22-year-old man (case 1) was bitten by a dog. A mass in the left upper eyelid of an 85-year-old man (case 2) was excised. Major full-thickness defects of the eyelid with small loss of tarsus were reconstructed with the use of donor sclera. Good cosmetic results were obtained. Major full-thickness defects of the upper eyelid with small loss of tarsus may be effectively reconstructed by the Cutler-Beard technique with use of donor sclera.
