title: [The design and technique of one stage treatment of eyelid divided nevus with island skin flap].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the design and technique of the one stage treatment of eyelid divided nevus with adjacent and distant island skin flap.
  
  
  METHODS
  Under local or general anesthesia, the divided nevus on the upper and lower eyelid were excised totally or partially. According to the location, shape and size of the defect, orbicularis oculi musculocutaneous flap, postauricular SMAS-pedicled flap or reversal superficial temporal artery flap was chosen to repair the defect in one stage. The donor site was closed directly.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Since 2003, 16 patients were treated in this group, with 10 orbicularis oculi musculocutaneous flaps, 3 postauricular SMAS-pedicled flaps, and 3 reversal superficial temporal artery flaps. The largest size of the nevus on the upper and lower eyelid were 2.5 cm x 2.0 cm and 4.0 cm x 3.0 cm, respectively. One postauricular SMAS-pedicled flap and 1 reversal superficial temporal artery flap showed distal venous refluence obstruction and epidermal necrosis in early postoperative stage, which healed through dressing. The other flaps survived completely.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Treating eyelid divided defects with adjacent or distant island skin flap is a suitable method with satisfactory result and less morbidity in donor sites.
