Abstract

Orbital reconstruction by local flaps, distant flaps, free skin transplants or mucosal transplants, means numerous operations. Good results are often spoiled by postoperative shrinking, especially, when the patient previously had radiation. Therefore we use nowadays free flaps (forearm flap, dorsalis pedis flap) as fascio-cutaneous or fascio-mucosal flaps. By this procedure, reconstruction can be done in one or two stages and postoperative shrinking can be avoided. Our experience in 4 cases is demonstrated.
