Lower Lid Blepharoplasty-Entropion-Ectropion Oculoplastic Surgery Cadaveric Dissection Course� was performed in Bahcesehir University School of Medicine on February 19th, 2017 with the participation of 20 ophthalmologists. Lower eyelid anatomy, the lower eyelid entropion-ectropion surgical techniques, subciliary incision and transconjunctival approach to lower eyelid blepharoplasty, complication prevention and management methods are shown on the fresh frozen cadaveric eyelids. The surgical microscopic images linked to the master operation table have been recorded. The stages of the lower eyelid cadaveric dissection are presented together with details of the anatomical folds through video images. Cadaveric workshops as a primary modality of simulation based surgical skills training have been used for a few years in Turkey. Cadaveric dissection training in oculoplasty confers greatest benefit to the surgeons, despite disadvantages of tissue loss and form, degeneration of anatomical key points, diversification in the structure, lack of experience in live tissue tonus and bleeding. Also there are difficulties in providing cadavers and expense. It is believed that cadaveric dissection is the gold standard technique for surgical skill transfer in eyelid surgery.
