Abstract:

Background: Perianal fistula is a complicated disorder and most difficult to manage. New treatment methods would help surgeons to achieve a better outcome in patients with perianal fistula. Human amniotic membrane (HAM) has positive effects on wound healing in several conditions. The present study aimed to further determine the effect of HAM on wound healing of perianal fistula in rabbits.Methods: In a prospective experimental study, 14 male rabbits (aged 4-6 months and weighing 3-4 kg) were randomly divided into 2 groups. After 12 weeks, the high type perianal fistula was repaired with endorectal flap (ERF) and ERF plus HAM in the control and case groups, respectively. In all rabbits of the case group, a 1×1 cm width wrap of HAM was applied and fixed around the ERF site. Three weeks later, the repaired site of the perianal fistula was sent for pathologic wound healing scoring. The results were analyzed with the SPSS 21.0 software using Mann-Whitney test. Results: Six rabbits of each group survived the study period. There was a statistically significant difference in wound healing between the case and control groups (P<0.001). Wound healing process in the case group occurred better and faster than the control group.Conclusion: HAM has an effective role in enhancing the ERF procedure and considered appropriate. A combination of HAM with other methods is recommended.

Human amniotic membrane effect on colorectal anastomosis in dogs undergoing radiotherapy with/without diverting stoma: An experimental preliminary study

Background: : Radiotherapy is an important factor which results in increase of anastomosis leakage. Diverting loop ileostomy has been usually performed after colorectal anastomosis with history of neo-adjuvant radiotherapy to decrease the chance of leakage. Considering this effect, we assessed the feasibility and outcome of human amniotic membrane in rectal anastomosis in dogs previously treate...

Amniotic Membrane in Trabeculectomy: An Experimental Study

Background: To assess the potential use of amniotic membrane graft (AMG) for augmenting trabeculectomy. Methods: Sixteen eyes of 8 rabbits were randomly divided into a study group that underwent trabeculectomy with AMG, and a control group that underwent trabeculectomy alone. Result: The mean duration of blebs was greater in the study group as compared to the controls (p=0.009). On day 1, the I...

Synergistic Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen and Decellularized Human Amniotic Membrane on Full-Thickness Diabetic Wound Healing in Rats

 Background and purpose: One of the common complications of diabetes is impairment of wound healing. The aim of the present study was to investigate the synergistic effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and decellularized human amniotic membrane (dHAM) in healing of full-thickness diabetic wounds in rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 60 diabetic male rats were randoml...
