AI Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the use of artificial dermal grafts for lower eyelids after removing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) to assess scar contracture.
- Postoperative evaluations included four quantitative and two qualitative parameters, revealing no significant differences in measurements.
- The results suggest that artificial dermal grafts can be effectively used without causing complications like eyelid retraction or ectropion.
Article Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential use of artificial dermal grafts in the lower eyelid following surgical resection of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), focusing on the degree of scar contracture. Postoperative changes were assessed using four quantitative and two qualitative parameters. Anthropometric analysis revealed no statistically significant differences across the four quantitative measures. Furthermore, no new cases of ectropion or scleral show were observed after grafting. These findings suggest that artificial dermal grafting may be a viable option following surgical excision of BCCs on the lower eyelids, without inducing significant eyelid retraction.
