title: [Immediate reconstruction of tissue defects on eyelid caused by tumor excision].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To introduce the methods for immediate reconstruction of tissue defects on eyelid caused by tumor excision.
  
  
  METHODS
  Single or combined local skin flaps were used to repair tissue defects on eyelids after tumor excision.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Since 1994, 216 patients (224 sides) were treated. All flaps survived with primary healing. 149 patients were followed up for 3 months to 10 years with satisfactory results. 2 patients with squamous cell carcinoma recurred and reoperated with local skin flap again.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is a simple, safe, flexible and reliable method to immediately repair the tissue defects with local flaps on eyelid caused by tumor excision.
