Amniotic membrane transplantation in ocular surface disorders.
The term ocular surface disorders indicate a close relationship between the conjunctival and corneal epithelium in many corneal and external diseases. The human amniotic membrane has a thick basement membrane and an avascular stromal matrix and its first ophthalmic use was reported by deRoth for conjunctival surface reconstruction. It was subsequently used for different ophthalmic reasons. Amni...

متن کاملRole of amniotic membrane transplantation in ocular surface disorders.
UNLABELLED The advent of amniotic membrane (AM) and limbal stem cell grafts have transformed the treatment of diseases resulting in ocular surface failure. The current success may be attributed to cryopreservation of human AM, which retains its properties and renders the amniotic epithelial cells nonviable and thus nonimmunogenic. Its unique properties have prompted its application in a large n...

PURPOSE Amniotic membrane transplantation is currently being used as an alternative approach to treat severe corneal surface disorders refractory to medical therapy. The authors report complications of corneal surface disorders after successful amniotic membrane transplantation. METHODS Case series. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients with corneal surface disorders due to severe chemical burns, c...
متن کاملAmniotic Membrane Transplantation for Ocular Surface Reconstruction
The use of amniotic membrane (or amnion) for transplantation as graft in ocular surface reconstruction is reviewed. This technique has become widespread because of the availability of the amnion, convenience and ease of use, and high and reproducible success rates. The mechanisms of action of the transplantation are varied and include the prolongation and clonogenic maintenance of epithelial pr...
