Abstract:
The authors performed reconstructive surgery for three cases of extensive upper and lower lid defects using modified Hughes procedure during the past one year. Two cases were upper lid reconstruction for the recurrent sebaceous carcinoma and the upper lid coloboma due to thermal bum. The other one was the adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lower lid. The first stage of this procedure was performed by tarsoconjunctival flap. The second procedure was performed after 6 weeks. This lid sharing technique was excellent for both cosmesis and lid function. All of the three patients have been very happy without any complications such as malposition of the lid margin, lid retraction or blepharoptosis.
