Abstract

MANY A TIMES, SURGEONS ARE AT A LOSS AS TO HOW BEST TO REPAIR EYELID DEFECTS AND MALPOSITIONS. THIS COURSE WILL PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW ON WHAT IS TO BE DONE WHEN AND HOW TO GIVE PATIENTS AN AESTHETICALLY PLEASING OUTCOME. WHAT IS THE BEST OPTION, A FLAP OR A GRAFT? HOW TO SIZE? WHAT TO DO WHEN A GRAFT DOES NOT TAKE UP? HOW TO ENSURE VASCULARITY AND VIABILITY? THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED WITH A COMBINATION OF VIDEOS AND CLINICAL SCENARIOS OF STAGED PROCEDURES FOR EYELID RECONSTRUCTION AND OCULAR SURFACE MANAGEMENT WITH GRAFTS. WE WILL START WITH THE CORE PLASTIC SURGERY DOCTRINES OF HARVESTING GRAFTS AND FASHIONING FLAPS. WORK-HORSE PROCEDURES USED IN MANAGEMENT OF DEFECTS FROM CARCINOMA EXCISIONS, TRAUMA AND EYELID RETRACTION WILL BE OUTLINED. WHEN TO USE A TENZEL FLAP, CUTLER-BEARD FLAP, HUGHE’S FLAP, FRICKE FLAP, GLABELLAR FLAP, PERIOSTEAL FLAP, POST-AURICULAR SKIN GRAFT, HARD PALATE GRAFT, MUCOUS MEMBRANE GRAFT ALONG WITH FASCIA LATA GRAFT FOR PTOSIS AND MORE WILL BE SUMMARIZED
