The eyelids have a rich vascular supply, and bleeding may compromise both surgical technique and postoperative results. Generally, it is known that the eyelids contain a marginal and peripheral arcade, but detailed anatomic information is not available. This study therefore was undertaken to determine the detailed anatomy of eyelid vascularity.
The common carotid arteries of six fresh cadaver heads were injected with a compound consisting of a partially polymerized monomer, to which a catalyst and promoter were added to cause hardening. The soft tissue was then digested, using 40% potassium hydroxide, to obtain detailed casts of the eyelid arteries, arterioles, and capillaries.
The authors describe the eyelid vascularity and anastomotic network with average distance measurements from clinically relevant soft tissue landmarks in the 12 cadaver eyelids.
Consistent patterns of eyelid vascularity were observed. A better understanding of the eyelid vascularity should allow modification of surgical techniques and reduce postoperative complications after eyelid surgery.
眼睑有丰富的血管供应，出血可能会影响手术技术和术后效果。一般来说，已知眼睑有边缘和周边动脉弓，但详细的解剖信息并不明确。因此，本研究旨在确定眼睑血管的详细解剖结构。
向六个新鲜尸体头部的颈总动脉注射一种由部分聚合的单体组成的复合物，并添加催化剂和促进剂使其硬化。然后用40%的氢氧化钾消化软组织，以获得眼睑动脉、小动脉和毛细血管的详细铸型。
作者描述了眼睑血管和吻合网络，并给出了12个尸体眼睑中与临床相关软组织标志的平均距离测量值。
观察到眼睑血管的一致模式。更好地了解眼睑血管应有助于改进手术技术并减少眼睑手术后的并发症。
