Such lesions can arise from the eyelid skin, glands, or blood vessels. They can be benign, as in eyelid nevus, or malignant, as in basal cell carcinoma. We have covered the surgical treatment of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_self\"   href=\"\/en\/info\/eyelid-cancer\/\">eyelid skin cancer<\/a> in other <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/\">blogs<\/a>. In this blog, we will focus on benign lesions.<\/p><p>Regarding the cause, lesions can be inflammatory, neoplastic, vascular, or traumatic. Eyelid scars, secondary to trauma or previous surgery, can affect eyelid function and cosmesis. When the scar deforms the eyelid margin, it is amenable to the same treatment as a benign lesion.<\/p><h2>The pentagonal wedge resection<\/h2><p>A simple, safe, and effective way to remove a lesion that involves one-third or less of the eyelid margin or to improve a scar in this area is to excise the compromised tissue using a full-thickness wedge resection technique.<\/p><p>This technique is a minor procedure achieved under local anesthesia unless the patient prefers sedation. It can be performed in the operating room or the doctor\u2019s office. The surgeon marks the skin and then numbs the area around the lesion with a local anesthetic.<\/p><p>A surgical blade is used to make full-thickness vertical incisions through the eyelid in the marked sites. It is important to include the full height of the tarsus in the resection. Employing a pentagonal design in the excision is crucial to facilitate adequate eyelid reconstruction. Doing this helps guarantee the best cosmetic outcome while preserving eyelid function and preventing complications.<\/p><h2>Eyelid reconstruction with direct closure<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-724764d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"724764d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d979193\" data-id=\"d979193\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-625747f\" data-id=\"625747f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8646cc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8646cc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pentagonal-wedge-resection-for-treatment-of-eyelid-margin-lesions-and-scars.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Eyelid reconstruction with direct closure\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjEwNjksInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuYXJ0ZWZhY2lhbC5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzA5XC9wZW50YWdvbmFsLXdlZGdlLXJlc2VjdGlvbi1mb3ItdHJlYXRtZW50LW9mLWV5ZWxpZC1tYXJnaW4tbGVzaW9ucy1hbmQtc2NhcnMud2VicCJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&apos;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&apos; viewBox%3D&apos;0 0 1024 683&apos;%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pentagonal-wedge-resection-for-treatment-of-eyelid-margin-lesions-and-scars.webp\" class=\"lazy-load attachment-large size-large wp-image-21069\" alt=\"Eyelid reconstruction with direct closure\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pentagonal-wedge-resection-for-treatment-of-eyelid-margin-lesions-and-scars.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pentagonal-wedge-resection-for-treatment-of-eyelid-margin-lesions-and-scars-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pentagonal-wedge-resection-for-treatment-of-eyelid-margin-lesions-and-scars-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-942a66f\" data-id=\"942a66f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0bbd86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e0bbd86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After the tissue has been excised, the surgeon needs to reconstruct the different layers of the eyelid, called lamellae. Defects involving less than one-third of the eyelid length can generally be reconstructed by approximating the wound margins with sutures. This approach is termed direct closure.<\/p><p>The posterior lamella is reconstructed first. The surgeon places two or three absorbable sutures through the tarsus (a firm plate of connective tissue) on each side of the defect. Finally, the skin and muscle, i.e., anterior lamella, is closed with non-absorbable sutures.<\/p><p>After the procedure, patients should expect mild bruising and swelling, which can last approximately a week. Follow-up is scheduled between days 8 and 10. Results are seen around week 2 or 3 post-op, while normal eyelid function and good cosmesis can best be appreciated one month after the procedure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3df5b41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"3df5b41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=i3ujIz5mXPM&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;show_image_overlay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;image_overlay&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.artefacial.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/09\\\/tratamiento-para-tumores-y-cicatrices-en-el-margen-de-los-parpados-reseccion-en-cuna.webp&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:21060,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pentagonal wedge resection&quot;,&quot;source&quot;:&quot;library&quot;},&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tratamiento-para-tumores-y-cicatrices-en-el-margen-de-los-parpados-reseccion-en-cuna.webp);\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed-play\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play Video about Pentagonal wedge resection\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-play\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M838 162C746 71 633 25 500 25 371 25 258 71 163 162 71 254 25 367 25 500 25 633 71 746 163 837 254 929 367 979 500 979 633 979 746 933 838 837 929 746 975 633 975 500 975 367 929 254 838 162M808 192C892 279 933 379 933 500 933 621 892 725 808 808 725 892 621 938 500 938 379 938 279 896 196 808 113 725 67 621 67 500 67 379 108 279 196 192 279 108 383 62 500 62 621 62 721 108 808 192M438 392V642L642 517 438 392Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lesions involving the eyelid margin are widespread.
