Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effects of allosclera transplant for eyelid reconstruction. METHODS: From May 1986 to January 2001, 45 patients who suffered from partial eyelid defect underwent the allosclera transplant for eyelid reconstruction, There were 31 cases of male and 14 cases of female, 18 cases of the upper eyelid and 27 cases of the lower eyelid, among them, 22 cases were caused by eyelid trauma and 23 cases by eyelid tumor. The length of eyelid defect were less than 1/2 of the whole eyelid. The morphology and function of the eyelid and complications were observed after operation. RESULTS: All 45 cases were followed up for 11 to 38 months, 19.7 months on average. The eyelid morphology and mobility restored well and there was no influence on visual function. CONCLUSION: The xenosclera is an ideal material for eyelid reconstruction.
