Modified Hughes' bridge flap for reconstruction of upper lid OS

Image Comments:

A diagnosis of recurrent melanoma required extensive left upper lid reconstruction. The patient was referred to Byron Smith, MD who was a world-class oculoplastic surgeon in New York City. The surgery was performed on 12/23/1970. The photo was taken in May 1971. Bridge flaps use lower lid tissue to reconstruct upper lid defects. The bridge flap is a full thickness flap, bringing both anterior
and posterior lamellae at one time. Reference: slackbooks.com/excerpts/64515/64515.asp
