A flap is tissue transferred from one site (donor) to another (recipient) while maintaining its own blood supply. In oculofacial surgery, defects occur due to congenital anomalies, infiltrative and inflammatory processes, traumatic injuries, or iatrogenic causes. In this chapter, the authors describe fundamentals and the various classifications of flaps used for eyelid or periorbital reconstruction.
