Abstract

The repair of eyelid full-thickness tissue defects could be solved rather simply by flaps derived from the frontal or temporal region, or rotated from the opposite lid or by free full-thickness skin grafts of eyelid. In this study, full thickness tissue loss of lower eyelid was described in two cats. In both cats, after en bloc resection of lesion, the fullthickness defect was reconstructed with a transposition flap from the temporal region. Histopathological examinations revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Transposition flap technique was found useful for reconstruction of wide full thickness eyelid defects resulting from squamous cell carcinoma excision. This technique yields satisfactory functional cosmetic results in cats.

Özet

Göz kapağında tam kalınlıklı doku defektlerinin onarımı frontal veya temporal bölgeden veya karşı kapaktan döndürülerek getirilen fleplerle, ya da serbest deri greftleriyle yapılabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, alt göz kapağında tam kalınlıklı doku kaybı olan iki kedide lezyon uzaklaştırıldıktan sonra bölgedeki defekt transpozisyon flep tekniği kullanılarak onarılmıştır. Histopatolojik incelemede alınan dokuların yassı hücreli karsinoma olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kullanılan tekniğin, göz kapağında yassı hücreli karsinoma uzaklaştırıldıktan sonra meydana gelen geniş doku kayıplı yaraların onarımında etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Teknik, kedilerde fonksiyonel ve kozmetik açıdan değerlendirildiğinde oldukça tatmin edicidir.
