Abstract
This chapter on the surgical anatomy of the eyelids covers the surface anatomy of the lid and periocular tissue. The lid is peeled anterior to posterior to show the layers that help form the eyelid. We then go a little deeper to get an idea of the structures in relation to the eyelid. We also look into the innervations and vascular supply of the lids. The aim of this chapter is to create a visual impression of the lid and the adnexal tissue during an actual surgical reconstructive procedure to solve the jigsaw puzzle following an eyelid tumor excision.
