ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Repair of periocular defects poses unique functional and aesthetic challenges. Data on the safety of periocular repairs by Mohs surgeons are limited.OBJECTIVE:
Analyze the frequency and types of postreconstruction complications encountered with periocular repairs performed by Mohs surgeons, identify risk factors associated with complications, and enumerate interventions for complications encountered. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
An institutional review board-approved retrospective study on periocular repairs performed by Mohs surgeons at 2 academic institutions between 07 2013 and 06 2016. Patients undergoing periocular Mohs surgery were identified via billing codes. Patient demographics and surgery details were recorded. Follow-up visit notes were reviewed for postoperative complications and interventions performed.RESULTS:
Two hundred ten cases were included in the analysis. The most common locations for postreconstruction complications were the medial canthus (57%) and lower eyelid (37%). The complications identified included medial canthal webbing (4.3%), hypertrophic scarring (4.3%), ectropion (1.9%), infection (1.4%), pincushioning (1.4%), and epiphora (1.0%). The most common postoperative intervention was intralesional triamcinolone. Scar revision was performed in 2.4% of all cases.CONCLUSION:
Periocular repairs performed by Mohs surgeons have a similar safety profile as repairs performed by oculoplastic surgeons.
