Abstract
ROJAS BRUZON, Raquel; QUINTANA DIAZ, Juan Carlos; JHONSON MONTERO, Evis and LEYVA DIAZ, Yunior Jesús. Palpebral Reconstruction after Tumor Resection of the Eyeball. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.3 Epub Sep 01, 2022. ISSN 1561-3070.
The palpebral defects created after tumor resection can be partial or total, affect the external lamella, the internal lamella or both, and require different reconstructive techniques, simple or complex. The objective is to present the cosmetic and functional results in a patient who underwent a combined technique to solve a complex problem of the palpebral apparatus after enucleation. A harmonic palpebral apparatus was achieved, in which its structures have order, functionality and symmetry with the contralateral side. The reconstruction of complex defects of the palpebral apparatus is only possible with the combination of several techniques. Harmony, contralateral symmetry and order of the structures were achieved.
Keywords : palpebral reconstruction; enucleation; combined techniques.
