GOMEZ CABRERA, Clara G.; MARTINEZ SUAREZ, Nereyda; FALCON MARQUEZ, Iraida y HERRERA SOTO, Martha. Tenzel technique in the reconstructive surgery of the malignant eyelid tumors. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2001, vol.14, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.
A descriptive and retrospective study that included 24 patients operated on of eyelid malignant tumor that had to undergo reconstructive surgery by Tenzel rotated graft was conducted from March, 1995, to December, 1999. 91.8 % of the patients were operated on due to basocelular carcinoma. 70.8 % of the cases were in stage T2 and 29.2 % in stage T3. The cosmetic results were good in 22 patients, accounting for 91.8 %. The complications, all of them postoperative, included the marginal ectropion in 2 cases. One of them also had tumoral persistence. Suture dehiscence was only observed in 1 patient. Surgical recovery was of 10 days in 4 patients (16.7 %), of 15 days in 16 (66.7 %), of 20 days in 3 (12.5 %) and of 30 days in only l case. It was possible to use this technique in 40 % of the patients operated on of eyelid malignant tumors. The cosmetic result attained with this technique was good and surgical recovery was possible in 15 days in more than half of the patients.
