Abstrakt: Purpose: To describe a technique for eyelid margin reconstruction following large mass resection utilizing a free labial mucocutaneous graft.
Methods: Four dogs (4 eyes) underwent en bloc eyelid mass excision under general anesthesia. Measurements were made of the mass followed by free labial mucocutaneous graft retrieval, resection of the mass, and then transplantation of retrieved region of labial mucocutaneous tissue into the resulting defect.
Results: Three patients underwent eyelid margin reconstruction with a free labial mucocutaneous graft. One patient received a pedicle advancement graft combined with a free labial mucocutaneous graft. In all cases, a length of 120%-150% of the eyelid defect was retrieved from the oral labia. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 weeks to 4 months. All cases had superficial graft necrosis and depigmentation of the donor tissue with total healing time taking up to 8 weeks. All cases had an esthetic and functional reconstruction.
Conclusions: This technique allows reconstruction of the majority of the eyelid margin, greater than that which can be closed primarily. Due to tissue sloughing, the healing time can be extended but cosmetic outcomes are good. Eyelid reconstruction utilizing a free labial graft restored a mucocutaneous margin and recreated a functional eyelid, thus avoiding trichiasis or secondary keratitis.
