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. ...

Update on amniotic membrane transplantation.

Cryopreserved amniotic membrane modulates adult wound healing by promoting epithelialization while suppressing stromal inflammation, angiogenesis and scarring. Such clinical efficacies of amniotic membrane transplantation have been reported in several hundred publications for a wide spectrum of ophthalmic indications. The success of the aforementioned therapeutic actions prompts investigators t...
