Abstract

Management of periorbital trauma is aimed at preservation of vision, prevention of ocular complications, and restoring the damaged structures. Correct management of eyelid injuries is essential to achieve the best cosmetic and functional outcome. Due to complex eyelid anatomy, the treatment of any periocular injury including even a small laceration requires a profound knowledge of anatomy and plastic reconstructive principles. The methods used for reconstruction are based on the site and extent of the defect as well as the cosmetic requirements. Some peculiarities in this area must be considered before undertaking any surgical repair.
