Lower eyelid reconstruction by tarsal transposition.

We reconstructed the lower eyelids of 13 patients using a tarsoconjunctival flap from the upper eyelid. The laterally based pedicle flap permitted a one-stage repair without prolonged occlusion of the eye. The technique was best suited to lesions involving the lateral aspect of the lower eyelid, but can be applied to lesions of the central and medial eyelid. The functional and cosmetic results were equal or superior to tarsoconjunctival advancement flaps.

Cryosurgery for treatment of trichiasis.

We cryosurgically destroyed eyelashes in rabbits and applied the technique to treat 23 selected patients with trichiasis. Liquid nitrogen was sprayed on the eyelid margin by using a double, rapid-freeze, slow-thaw cycle monitored by a subcutaneous thermocouple to -30 degrees C. It was an improvement on electrolysis and a simple alternative to surgery.

Surgical removal of basal cell carcinoma of the eyelids utilizing frozen section control.

A total of 157 eyelid basal cell carcinomas were surgically excised during an 18-year period. All lesions were submitted for histologic examination to determine the adequacy of excision and 72% had frozen section evaluation at the time of surgery. Complete resection was attained in 97.5% of cases. There were no recurrences reported. Postoperative problems occurred in 8% of patients but all were corrected by secondary surgical procedures.

Observations on the treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the eyelids. The Wendell L. Huges Lecture.

A brief discussion of the treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the eyelids has given. It implies that, as usually done, surgery is good. It is uncertain, however, and leaves much to be desired. By looking into the control techniques that should be available, and by taking the time and trouble to use them, the surgeon should attain much better results than he has in the past. It is suggested that cryosurgery may be the preferred method of treatment for many ofthose who wish to avoid surgery for reasons of health, age, time, inconvenience, and cost. This is true only if these individuals are willing to accept the cosmetic disadvantages of depigmentation and loss of lashes. It is hoped that other ophthalmic plastic surgeons will look into this modality and evaluate it critically before casting it aside as a poor substitute for the knife.
