Speaker: Use skin grafts from flaps in complicated eyelid reconstruction
PHILADELPHIA – Reconstructive surgeons can use a skin graft of excess tissue during flap construction in complicated eyelid surgeries, according to a speaker at the Wills Eye Conference.“In general, we prefer flaps over grafts because local skin has a better color and texture match. In addition, there’s less contraction in healing compared to grafts, and flaps come with their own blood supply,” Renelle Pointdujour-Lim, MD, said.
