Lower lid reconstruction utilizing auricular conchal chondral-perichondral tissue in patients with neoplastic lesions.

Purpose: To assess surgical outcomes of lower lid reconstruction surgery using auricular conchal tissue.

Methods: This prospective study included 20 patients that underwent reconstructive lower lid surgery using autologous auricle chondral-perichondral graft tissue. Auricle tissue was used to provide adequate support and protection with similar conjunctiva tarsal structures on overlying soft tissues in patients with pathologic inferior lid tissue loss requiring reconstructive surgery.
