Abstract
A surgical model was created to teach eyelid margin repair to ophthalmology residents. On gross and histopathologic examination, the pig eyelid was found to be similar to the human eyelid. Using the pig eyelid mounted on an easy-to-construct model, eyelid margin repair was effectively taught at a surgical workshop.
