N2  - Two cases of traumatic avulsion of the upper eyelid were surgically repaired with retrieved autogenous tissue. Both injuries were caused by bites, canine in one case and human in the other. Surgical repair consisted of débridement of the retrieved tissue and layered closure of the wound 17 and 40 hours after the injury occurred. Good functional results were obtained in both cases. In both patients mild lid retraction and loss of cilia were noted. One of the patients underwent a secondary lid-lengthening procedure with scleral grafting for optimal cosmesis.<p />  <p>Keywords: Animal Bites; Dog Bites<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
