Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the application and therapeutic effect of advanced orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM ) flap for eyelid defect.
METHODSUni-pedicle or bi-pedicle advanced OOM flaps were designed according to the location, depth and size of the eyelid defects. The resulted wounds in the donor sites were closed directly. The flap size ranged from 1.5 cm x 0.5 cm - 6.0 cm x 3.5 cm.
RESULTS120 cases were treated. All the flaps survived except for 3 flaps with epidermis necrosis at the end of flaps, which healed after dressing. The patients were followed up for 3 -36 months with inconspicious scar in donor sites. The flap color, texture had a good match with surrounding skin.
CONCLUSIONSThe OOM flap is ideal for eyelid defect with reliable blood supply, satisfied color and texture. The wound at donor site can be closed directly with less morbidity.
