Tenzel semicircular rotational flap. A, Patient with a fullthickness horizontal eyelid defect (90%). The planned flap incision and reconstruction of the posterior lamella by an auricular conchal graft. B, Another patient with a full-thickness pretarsal and preseptal defect (types I and II) involving the lateral canthus (50%). Incisions are performed, and the tarsal strip is separated. C, The tarsal strip is secured to the lateral orbital rim, and the flap is rotated medially to the defect without tension.

Background:
This prospective study aims to evaluate the demographic and histopathological characteristics of patients who underwent resection of malignant skin tumors of the lower eyelid. It also seeks to assess the size of the defect and outline the management strategies for reconstructing anterior and posterior lamellae.
Methods:
The study enr...

... and survival (13). Currently, a vascularized layer is usually transposed between two non-vascularized layers (the sandwich flap/technique). Defects of the pretarsal region with a total width of 33-50% of the eyelid can be closed using lateral canthotomy and inferior cantholysis (14). If a canthotomy is insufficient, a Tenzel flap can be used (Fig. 2). For better fixation, the periosteal flap can be transposed from the orbital rim ...
