Abstract

Lower eyelid reconstruction using skin flaps sometimes results in undesirable deformities due to postoperative flap drooping. We aimed to examine the effectiveness of a novel procedure for reconstructing the skin-tarsoligamentous sling of the lower eyelid. We included 37 patients who underwent anterior lamellar reconstruction with a cheek rotation flap for full-thickness lower eyelid defect. They were divided into two groups: Group A included 19 patients who underwent tarsoligamentous sling reconstruction with a fascia lata strip and buccal mucosa grafting, and Group B comprised 18 patients who underwent skin-tarsoligamentous sling reconstruction using an additional combination of a periosteal flap and de-epithelialized triangular flap at the lateral canthal region, representing our novel approach. To evaluate the severity of postoperative deformities, we used the drooping index, the ratio of drooping compared to the healthy side, along with the angular difference in canthal tilt, obtained between the reconstructed and healthy sides, using photographs taken ≥6 months post-reconstruction. Group B demonstrated superior outcomes, with mean drooping indices of 1.13 compared to 1.33 in Group A (P = 0.031) and mean angular differences in canthal tilt of −0.73° compared to −2.45° in Group A (P = 0.021). Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A (P = 0.042). Furthermore, patients with drooping index <1.2 and an angular difference in canthal tilt ≥−1.0° exhibited higher satisfaction scores. Our novel approach to lower eyelid reconstruction using a skin-tarsoligamentous sling yielded improved aesthetic outcomes, fewer complications, and higher patient satisfaction.

利用皮肤-跗韧带吊带防止术后下垂畸形的新型下眼睑重建术:使用下垂指数和眼轮匝肌倾斜角度差进行定量分析
使用皮瓣重建下眼睑有时会因术后皮瓣下垂而导致不良畸形。我们的目的是研究一种重建下眼睑皮肤-跗关节吊带的新型手术的有效性。我们共纳入了 37 名因下眼睑全层缺损而接受了颊旋转皮瓣前板层重建术的患者。他们被分为两组:A组包括19名患者,他们接受了筋膜条和颊粘膜移植的跗韧带吊带重建术;B组包括18名患者,他们接受了皮肤-跗韧带吊带重建术,额外结合了骨膜瓣和外侧眼轮匝肌区域的去上皮三角瓣,这代表了我们的新方法。为了评估术后畸形的严重程度,我们使用了下垂指数,即与健侧相比下垂的比率,以及眼轮匝肌倾斜的角度差。B 组的疗效更佳,平均下垂指数为 1.13,而 A 组为 1.33(P = 0.031);平均眼窝倾斜角度差为 -0.73°,而 A 组为 -2.45°(P = 0.021)。B 组患者的满意度明显高于 A 组(P = 0.042)。此外,下垂指数<1.2和眼睑倾斜角度差≥-1.0°的患者满意度评分更高。我们使用皮肤-跗韧带吊带重建下眼睑的新方法改善了美学效果,减少了并发症,提高了患者满意度。

期刊介绍: JPRAS An International Journal of Surgical Reconstruction is one of the world''s leading international journals, covering all the reconstructive and aesthetic aspects of plastic surgery. The journal presents the latest surgical procedures with audit and outcome studies of new and established techniques in plastic surgery including: cleft lip and palate and other heads and neck surgery, hand surgery, lower limb trauma, burns, skin cancer, breast surgery and aesthetic surgery.
