Abstract:

Methods A retrospective nursing experience was summarized in 5 patients undergoing blepharocoloboma reconstruction with island flap of frontal branch of superficial temporal artery. We paid attention to the mental nursing of patients besides the routine nursing.The growth of skin flap was scrupulously oberved and gave selective disposal when untoward problems occurred. Results The skin flap survived in four cases and epidermis necrosis with flap basis survive took place in one case.The color and quality of survived skin flap was similar to adjacent skin which could effectively protect eyeballs.No severe complications occurred. Conclusions Effective mental nursing and health instruction before operation and careful observation and nursing of skin flap after operation proved to be pivotal for successful operation.
