Abstract
A conchal cartilage graft without skin or mucosa was used as a posterior lining for lower eyelid reconstruction in seven patients. The raw surface of the graft was smooth enough to cause no corneal irritation and was epithelialized from the surrounding mucosa about 3 to 4 weeks after the operation. The Tower eyelid reconstructed in this method produced a stable lid margin.Keywords
