Abstract
The repair of eyelid needs a good knowledge of reconstruction techniques. The goal of this work is to study epidemiological and technical aspects of eyelid defects in our context, and to evaluate their functional and aesthetic repair. We report cases concerned by loss of eyelid tissue operated between September 2011 and September 2016. Epidemiological, clinical and histo-pathological aspects are described, the repair processes and various surgical techniques are discussed. Among the identified cases of eyelid defects, 74% were malignant tumoral pathology, while 26% were benign. The repair techniques used were suture, direct healing, skin graft, flap of Mustardé with mucous chondro graft, frontal flap and sub-mental flap. The eyelid defects need functional and aesthetic valid repair, the various reconstruction means should begin from the simple ones to more complex.
