  • Dec 2022
Purpose: Reconstruction of the posterior lamella after eyelid tumor removal is challenging and not consensual. Tarsus is the most suitable graft, but is only available in small amounts. Herein, we aim to determine the most appropriate way to replace the tarsus by comparing the biomechanical, histological, and optical properties of five commonly us...

... collagen fibers were predominant in all grafts. By contrast, wide variations of elastin fibers were found (Figs. 3 and 4). Verhoeff staining demonstrated that the conchal cartilage and the dermis had the most important ratio of elastin fibers (25%-50%), followed by the tarsus and the hard palate mucosa (1%-25%); the sclera did not exhibit elastin fibers in its composition (<1%). ...
