abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the technique of periorbital defects reconstruction with island orbicularis oculi myocutaneous flap in orbital zone.
  
  
  METHODS
  The upper or lower eyelid island orbicularis oculi myocutaneous flap,medially based,were used for the defects of the periorbital area, according to the position,shape and size of the defects. The donor site was closed directly.
  
  
  RESULTS
  From July 2003 to October 2009, 24 patients were treated in this method, the flaps survived totally. The flap proved to be flexible, safe, relatively simple, and provided good functional and aesthetic results with follow up 6 to 24 months. Complications were minimal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The upper eyelid or lower eyelid island orbicularis oculi myocutaneous flap, medially based, is a satisfied method in repairing periorbital defects in one stage with good blood supply, excellent color texture matching and inconspicuous donor scar and deformity.
