Abstract:
This chapter reviews the surgical correction of cicatricial ectropion of the anterior lamella of the lower eyelid following resection of melanoma in situ and failed skin graft repair. Treatment involves excision of the scar, release of the remaining anterior lamella, and replacement with appropriate-sized full-thickness skin graft harvested from the ipsilateral upper eyelid. Repair is supported with a canthopexy suture.
