PURPOSE: To describe a novel transconjunctival technique for excision of well-defined masses of the orbital lobe of the lacrimal gland.
METHODS: Case series of three patients undergoing excision of a well-defined mass of the orbital lobe of lacrimal gland using a swinging upper eyelid flap. This technique entails a supratarsal conjunctival incision combined with lateral canthotomy and superior cantholysis.
RESULTS: Complete removal of the mass without visible scars was achieved in all cases. There were no complications related to this approach.
CONCLUSION: The swinging upper eyelid approach produces a wide exposure of the superolateral orbit. It allows safe removal of large lacrimal gland masses without the need for bone removal, while affording acceptable cosmesis.
