Abstract

Purpose: We investigated the usefulness of AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE transplantation on ocular surface (conjunctiva, cornea and sclera) reconstruction.Design: Retrospective case series. Material & Methods: 29 eyes of 28 patients who underwent AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE transplant in a 14 months period in Farabi Eye Hospital were included in our study. Follow up duration ranged from 4-14 months (mean 6.7 months). In conjunctival reconstruction; scar tissue was excised and AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE graft was secured in place by interrupted 8-0 vicryl sutures. In persistent CORNEAL EPITHELIAL DEFECT, after fine debridment, AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE was spread on epithelial side up and secured by interrupted or continuous 10-0 nylon sutures.Results: Of 17 eyes which underwent conjunctival reconstruction, 14 eyes had successful results; but operation failure was occurred due to fornical contraction in 2 eyes and implant exposure in 1 eye. All the remaining cases (with scleral melting after PETRYGIUM excision and persistent CORNEAL EPITHELIAL DEFECT) had good results.Conclusion: Preserved human AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE may be considered as an alternative substrate for ocular surface reconstruction.
