Özet

The choice of reconstructive technique for eyelid defects after malignant tumors was based on tumor location and defect size after tumor excision. Treatments included direct closure for defects measuring less than 25%, Tenzel flap for defects measuring 25-50%, lid-sharing procedures for defects measuring more than 50%, skin grafts for tumors affecting the inner canthus advancement flap for outer canthus tumors, and orbital exenteration for malignant tumors demonstrating orbital invasion.
