Abstract
Full-thickness eyelid defects resulting from trauma, tumor destruction, surgical excision, or congenital anomalies present a dilemma to the reconstructive surgeon. Full-thickness eyelid replacement requires composite grafting of skin, muscle, tarsal support or its substitute, and mucosa. A temporalis fascia sling hammock can be used to support the reconstructed eyelid. This static suspension assists in maintaining proper globe apposition to the eyelid and in preventing sagging of the reconstructed structures.
