Brief summary
In the framework of this article, based on clinical examples, a method for repairing defects of lower eyelid and medial canthal area after excision of extensive tumors is considered. The essence of the method consists in the formation of island pedicle cheek flap.
The complexity of the reconstruction of this region is due to its anatomical features. The use of island pedicle cheek flap allows to achieve proper functional and cosmetic results.
Key words
basal cell carcinoma; medial canthal; island pedicle cheek flap.
