The use of a split eyelid flap to reconstruct both a normal palpebral aperture and a smooth, hairless eyelid margin following the excision of eyelid neoplasia, in a series of seven dogs, is described. The patterns of reconstruction used in the procedure are discussed, and previously reported methods of eyelid reconstruction are reviewed.
