[Eyelid, medial canthus and medial orbital wall reconstruction using a combination of Hübner and conchal grafts with two illustrative cases].
Post-ablative medial canthus and medial orbital wall reconstruction may involve various materials. Few articles present such reconstructions using cartilage homografts, and very few opt for conchal cartilage. In some cases of medial orbital wall excision, at least half of the eyelid must also be removed. We present two cases where we decided to use conchal cartilage to reconstruct the medial orbital wall and tarsomarginal Hübner grafts to reconstruct the eyelid. This combination offers several advantages: a very limited resorption, only one operative field and a reduced infection risk.
