title: Alternative method for the reconstruction of defects with a loss of more than half of the upper eyelid.
abstract: The authors wish to present an alternative technique for the reconstruction of defects involving the loss of more than half of the upper lid. In a situation where the standard techniques could not be used due to the specific nature of the local findings, the described method seems to be a sound alternative for lid reconstruction.
