Abstract
Purpose: To analyse the peculiar surgical features of the eyelid and the nature of those tumoural lesions located in the eyelid and its surrounding area, treated as a Day-Surgery procedure in a Plastic Surgery Department. Methods: A retrospective review of 107 patients with periocular lesions surgically treated in our hospital in 2002 by Ambulatory Surgery. Conclusions: In our hospital, the palpebral cutaneous tumours most frequently treated as Ambulatory Surgery are Basal cell carcinoma (43%), mainly involving elderly patients. Reconstruction with a small number of flaps and skin graft is an easy process, producing satisfactory results. Early implementation of Ambulatory Surgery procedures may avoid more aggressive and complex techniques.
