A tarsomarginal graft is indicated in eyelid reconstructive surgery particularly after tumor resection. We reported the results of a retrospective study during the past 13 years with 58 grafts. We found a predominance of basal cell carcinomas localised in the lateral third portion of the lid (42%) and in the lower eyelid (76%). The mean size was 14mm for the tumor and 9.81mm for the graft. Grafts were used to cover a defect larger than 5mm. Complications were rare, and mainly involved suture looseness. The Hubner technique gave good results; repairing the eyelid without having to make a tarsorraphy and providing good cosmetic results. The graft must be covered by a skin flap.

Background: Preserving the integrity of the eyelid margin in eyelid reconstruction remains a challenge for plastic surgeons. In 1976, Hübner described a technique to repair full-thickness eyelid defects using a tarsomarginal graft covered with a local flap. This simple technique addresses both functional and aesthetic requirements of eyelid reconstruction by using tissue from the contralateral eyelid.

Post-ablative medial canthus and medial orbital wall reconstruction may involve various materials. Few articles present such reconstructions using cartilage homografts, and very few opt for conchal cartilage. In some cases of medial orbital wall excision, at least half of the eyelid must also be removed.
