Abstract
The present paper communicates results of reconstruction of lower lid defects following tumor excision. Surgery was performed on 25 patients using a modified Fox procedure. Functionally and cosmetically the results were good. Three patients developed an ectropion of the lower lid, one of them requiring surgical repair. In 3 cases there was some loss of cilia, though the patients did not find this disturbing. In 2 cases a minor sagging of the lower lid border was seen. A modified version of Fox's original method is proposed as a means of avoiding these complications.
