Purpose.To describe the use of the temporoparietal fascial flap (TPF) in the reconstruction of extensive lower eyelid defects in a functioning eye.Methods.We present a surgical case report of a 73-year-old female with melanoma of the left lower eyelid. The lower eyelid was resected, and a composite nasal cartilage-mucosa graft, a skin graft, and a TPF were used to reconstruct the lower eyelid.Results.This achieved reconstruction of the lower eyelid with the protection of the eye and preservation of the visual system function.Conclusion.The TPF serves as a good option for reconstruction of the lower eyelid in a viable functioning globe.
