Abstract

The eyelids perform many complex functions and are esthetically important, since eye is focal point of face. Tumor extirpation or trauma can lead to full-thickness eyelid defect, which Should be reconstructed as soon as possible There are a number of operation methods for lower lid reconstruction, and among them, Hughes procedure is a time-honored method. Its advantages are good cosmetic result and conjunctival repair by using eyelid structures to rebuild eyelid structures. However, this is a two-staged procedure in which the vision of the affected eye is obstructed during the interval between the operations. We experienced a case of trauma-induced full-thickness lower lid defect extending over one-third of lid length treated by Hughes method. The cosmetic and functional result was good and there was no donor site morbidity, and now we report this case with review of literatures.
