Résumé
Various methods of reconstructing skin defects in the medial canthal region have been reported. We report 2 skin flaps for the upper and lower eyelids designed to reconstruct soft tissue defects in the medial canthal region based on the approach used for the orbit during surgeries for facial bone fractures. The skin flap was elevated without tension until it reached the defect. The skin flaps of the upper and lower eyelids were moved around the defect as rotational flaps and sutured. Two patients with skin defects in the medial canthal region after basal cell carcinoma resection were treated with this technique. No complications occurred, and good cosmetic and functional outcomes were obtained. This method can be used to reconstruct the eyelid with an elevated skin flap and is considered useful for repairing defects in the medial canthal region.
