Abstract Purpose Eyelid defects can be complex and often demand individual approaches in order to achieve a successful functional and cosmetic reconstruction. The course gives the basis of understanding and experience of the issues involved in rebuilding an eyelid. Course participants will be equipped with simple principles of understanding that will make this task much more simple. Methods Key principles of reconstruction including area and location of the defect, layers, support, anchorage, vascular supply, and the use of flaps and grafts, are discussed in detail. Numerous cases with graphic photographs and diagrams are presented and their reconstruction possibilities worked out interactively with the course participants.
