Treatment of Complex Choristoma by Excision and Amniotic Membrane Transplantation

Surgical amniotic membrane transplantation after conjunctival and limbal tumor excision.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of patients treated by amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) following excision of conjunctival and limbal tumors. Methods: A total of 14 eyes of 14 patients who underwent AMT after total lesion-free tumor excision and perilesional cryotherapy were evaluated. Results: The excised tumors comprised 7 conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia, 5 conjunc...

amniotic membrane transplantation

the past decade has witnessed the revival of amniotic membrane transplantation (amt) in ophthalmology. the importance of amt is due to its ability to reduce scarring and inflammation and to enhance wound healing and epithelialization, and also its anti-microbial properties. amniotic membrane has recently been used as a substrate for culturing limbal stem cells for transplantation. it has been u...

Amniotic membrane transplantation.

In 1910 Davis was the first to report the use of fetal membranes as surgical material in skin transplantation. Since then the use of amniotic membrane in surgery has been expanded. It is now utilised as a biological dressing for burned skin, skin wounds, and chronic ulcers of the leg, as an adjunctive tissue in surgical reconstruction of artificial vagina, 17–19 and for repairing omphaloceles. ...
