Abstract
We have developed a new technique for reconstruction of full thickness eyel id defects. A composite three-layer skin-cartilage-mucosal unit is manufact ured and tailored three-dimensionally. Use of this sandwich graft in our pa tients proved to be simple and safe for eyelid reconstruction and has given good results without complications in four patients.
