Combination of periocular myocutaneous flaps for one-stage reconstruction of extensive defects of the eyelid.
We present the reconstructive challenge after excision of a large periocular tumour in a patient who needed early visual rehabilitation. The periocular full thickness deficit of his only sighted eye was reconstructed with a combination of periocular myocutaneous flaps and a free buccal mucosal graft. Adequate functional and cosmetic results with early visual rehabilitation were achieved in a single procedure.
