Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of perforator flap eyelid reconstruction surgery for eyelid repair and reconstruction in patients with eyelid tumors after surgery.Methods Totally 80 patients(80 eyes)who re-ceived eyelid tumor surgery and planned to undergo the perforator flap eyelid reconstruction surgery in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2022 were included.All of them have early-stage and mid-stage eyelid tumors with no orbital or systemic metastasis.A perforator flap eyelid reconstruction surgery was conducted to treat the eyelid defects.The differ-ence in height and length of the palpebral fissure,aesthetic function scores and levels of depression and anxiety of patients before and after repair were compared;the clinical efficacy,adverse reactions and prognosis of patients were evaluated.Results Among the 80 eyes,there were 35 eyes with significant effect,35 eyes with effective impact,and 10 eyes with no effect,with a total effective rate of 87.5%.The height and length of palpebral fissure of patients after repair were(1.49±0.47)mm and(1.43±0.55)mm,respectively,which were significantly lower than those before repair[(2.55± 0.35)mm and(2.38±0.49)mm](both P<0.01).The aesthetic function score before repair was 0.91±0.23,and that after repair was 1.87±0.19,with a significant difference(P<0.01).The scores of the Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale after repair were 40.14±6.54 and 39.45±7.65,respectively,which were significantly lower than those before repair(59.56±8.23 and 57.93±8.19)(both P<0.01).Among the 80 patients,the total incidence of compli-cations was 27.5%(22/80).All patients were followed up for 6-36 months,with an average follow-up time of(12.39± 6.17)months.No tumor recurrence was found during the follow-up.All composite flaps survived without infection,necro-sis or displacement.Conclusion The perforator flap eyelid reconstruction surgery has a good and safe therapeutic effect on repairing full-layer eyelid defects in patients who underwent eyelid tumor surgery.
