Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) is a well-established surgical procedure utilizing the innermost layer of the placenta.
  • Its therapeutic potential stems from the membrane's unique biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and pro-regenerative effects.

Observation:

  • The article traces the historical development of AMT from early 20th-century experimental fetal membrane transplantations to contemporary surgical techniques.
  • It details the critical aspects of amniotic membrane procurement, emphasizing sterile handling and preservation methods to maintain tissue viability.

Findings:

  • Complications associated with AMT, such as graft rejection, infection, and epithelial defects, are discussed.
  • Effective solutions and management strategies for these complications are presented, drawing from clinical experience and research.
