Elderly patient suffering from senile dementia and ulcerated nodular lesion of the left eye inner canthus. Despite the non-brilliant general condition, the patient collaborated during the surgery maintaining a firm position. Once the lesion has been removed, we closed the surgical wound with a glabellar transposition flap, paying particular attention to the hemostasis and the detachment of the flap. To avoid a possible hematoma between the receiving site and the flap, a small ponytail drainage was made. In the post-operative controls, the flap is vital even if slightly raised compared to the surrounding skin.

Abstract
Elderly patient suffering from senile dementia and ulcerated nodular lesion of the left eye inner canthus. Despite the non-brilliant general condition, the patient collaborated during the surgery maintaining a firm position. Once the lesion has been removed, we closed the surgical wound with a glabellar transposition flap, paying particular attention to the hemostasis and the detachment of the flap. To avoid a possible hematoma between the receiving site and the flap, a small ponytail drainage was made. In the post-operative controls, the flap is vital even if slightly raised compared to the surrounding skin.File in questo prodotto:
