Conjunctival flap with auricular cartilage grafting: a modified Hughes procedure for large full thickness upper and lower eyelid defect reconstruction.

Aim: To investigate the suitability of a modified Hughes procedure, which consists of conjunctival flap with auricular cartilage grafting in reconstructing large full thickness upper and lower eyelid defect.

Methods: Patients with full thickness eyelid carcinoma involving more than 50% margin length who underwent surgical resection were retrospectively reviewed in the study. The defects were reconstructed using conjunctival flap with auricular cartilage grafting, covered with myocutaneous flap above.

A New Preoperative Upright Design for Dermatochalasis Correction.

Background: Conventional assessment of the height of upper eyelid skin excision in dermatochalasis correction is performed with patient's eyes closed in supine position. It is not able to consider the effects of gravity on the upper eyelid, thus may lead to asymmetric postoperative appearance. The authors herein report a novel preoperative upright design (PUD) that can accurately determine the amount of skin excision with patients' eyes open in dermatochalasis correction.

Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Flap Rotation for Correction of Sunken Eyelid in Cosmetic Blepharoplasty.

Background: Attempting traditional cosmetic blepharoplasty in a sunken eyelid may cause complications such as multiple folds, irregular or high placement of fold. Additional surgical procedures, such as orbital fat repositioning or free fat grafting, are introduced to correct the sunken appearance. The study sought to introduce a novel orbicularis oculi muscle flap (OOMF) rotation procedure for the correction of the sunken eyelid during blepharoplasty.

Incidence and Risk Factors of New Onset Endotheliitis After Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the characteristics of new-onset endotheliitis after cataract surgery and to identify contributing risk factors.

Methods: In this single-center study, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of all patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery in the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between January 2015 and December 2016. Postoperative endotheliitis cases were identified by screening of keywords and individually verified by a cornea specialist.
