The cutaneomarginal eyelid graft

Brett O’Donnell

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

PURPOSE: To assess the effectiveness of the cutaneomarginal graft. METHODS: The cutaneomarginal graft consists of eyelid margin tissue with anterior lamella skin. The tarsal plate is resected following harvesting of a wedge of eyelid tissue. The graft is used to repair eyelid defects following excision of neoplasms which spares the posterior lamella. The graft is principally used at the lateral most part of the lower eyelid following Mohs surgery. A case series of five patients are reviewed to assess the effectiveness of the technique. RESULTS: All patients achieved a satisfactory result following grafting and there were no donor site complications. CONCLUSIONS: The cutaneomarginal graft is an effective means of repair, although with limited indications.
