Total or subtotal replacement of tarsal plate by novel silicone plate for upper eyelid reconstruction in malignant tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

: To evaluate the cost, safety, surgical outcome, and efficacy of modified Cutler-Beard eyelid reconstruction utilizing a novel silicone plate as a tarsal plate replacement in the repair of 60% to 100% eyelid defects following the excision of large malignant tumors.

Methods

: A prospective, noncomparative, interventional study of 30 eyes was done over 3 years. Fourteen patients were female, and 16 patients were male. In all the cases, a silicone plate, the synthetic, artificial tarsal plate, was utilized for a total or subtotal replacement of the tarsal plate. The created defect was measured in mm (length and width) and later expressed in percentage. Pre- and postoperative action of levator palpebrae superioris (LPS) was measured.
