Abstract

Three techniques are described to rebuild a missing or recurrently contracted socket, the selection of which is based on the anatomy of the periorbital tissue and vascular supply. When the superficial temporal vessels are present, the ipsilateral fasciocutaneous postauricular flap is used. When the vessels are present but the postauricular flap has been used, a secondary axial pattern flap is used. When the superficial temporal vessels are absent or not suitable, the dorsalis pedis vascularized free flap is used.
