Conjunctival reconstruction is vital for ocular surface regeneration in severe conditions. Tissue engineering and stem cell research offer promising new methods for repairing the conjunctiva and restoring the fornix.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Conjunctival reconstruction is crucial for ocular surface regeneration, particularly in severe conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome and chemical burns.
  • Failure in corneal reconstruction often occurs without prior conjunctival repair and restoration of the fornix.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current and emerging strategies for conjunctival surface reconstruction.
  • To highlight the role of tissue engineering and stem cell research in ocular surface regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established surgical techniques for conjunctival reconstruction.
  • Exploration of novel approaches utilizing tissue engineering and stem cell therapies.

Main Results:
