[Amputation of the lower eyelid in the therapy of eyelid tumors].
In carefully selected cases of tumors of the lower eyelid (tumors which destroy more than 40% of the eyelid margin and are not higher then 3 mm, in old patients in bad general condition and in the cases of multiple microrecurrences of a tumor) authors suggest simple excision of a tumor without reconstruction of a eyelid. It is an effective method of treatment of the tumor with good functional effects and acceptable cosmetic results.
