Reconstruction of lower eyelid defects after the excision of basal cell carcinoma

The paper presents the reconstructive options of the lower eyelid region in patients who have benefited from the excision of basal cell carcinomas. The study was based on the clinical and evolutionary particularities analyzed in a series of cases, the patients benefiting from excision and reconstruction for the treatment of basal cell carcinomas located at the level of the orbital region. Following the surgical treatment, the local evolution was favorable with a good functional recovery. The aesthetic results were strongly influenced by the stage of the neoplasm, the final aspect being satisfactory for the patients included in the study. Early diagnosis and rapid and effective surgical treatment are associated with favorable results from a functional and aesthetic point of view. Delayed surgery and treatment of relapses are associated with increased risks and inferior results.
