Trauma with soft-tissue loss of the periorbital region offers particular challenges in terms of operative reconstruction. Cicatricial changes in the sub-acute phase can lead to eyelid malposition and lagophthalmos. The authors present a novel technique for acute reconstruction of periorbital trauma with eyelid soft-tissue loss with simultaneous full-thickness skin grafting and amniotic membrane grafting. The technique involves standard preparation of the surgical area of injury and infiltration with local anesthetic. Initially, the area of injury is copiously irrigated, and debridement of any necrotic tissue is accomplished. Amniotic membrane grafting is then performed over the defect. Approximately 2 mm \u00d7 2 mm full-thickness skin grafts are procured and distributed over the initial amniotic membrane graft. A second amniotic membrane graft is then secured over the skin graft-amniotic membrane graft complex with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive. A bolstered suture tarsorrhaphy is performed to minimize tissue trauma during the healing process. The operative and postsurgical outcomes were assessed. The graft site healed well without cicatricial changes or lagophthalmos. Peripheral small papillomatous lesions did develop requiring excision for cosmesis, but ultimately the graft site demonstrated appropriate coverage and healthy re-epithelialization over the previous defect. This case demonstrates the viability of simultaneous full-thickness skin grafting with concomitant amniotic membrane grafting for the acute reconstruction of periorbital trauma with eyelid anterior lamella tissue loss. An excellent cosmetic and functional outcome was attained. By providing acute reconstruction, the risk of damage secondary to cicatricial periorbital changes may be avoided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usaa326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,18]],"date-time":"2020-12-18T21:46:10Z","timestamp":1608327970000},"page":"e246-e249","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Acute
