Overview

Case report demonstrates successful eyelid reconstruction using radial free forearm flap for tumor resection, suggesting improved outcomes.

Key Points

  • Reconstruction resulted in satisfactory anatomical and functional restoration of the eyelid.
  • The radial free forearm flap was chosen for its thinness and reliable vascularity, showing significant advantages.
  • Dynamic eyelid support was achieved by anchoring the flap to the medial canthus and orbital rim.
  • This technique highlights a viable alternative to bulkier flaps for extensive periorbital defects.
