Human amniotic membrane transplantation
Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in eyes with ocular surface disease. Methods. Amniotic membranes, prepared according to Tissue Bank International Protocol, were from Lions Croatian Eye Bank. Retrospective study was made in 45 eyes that underwent AMT in a period between 1998-1999. Indications for surgery were: A) persistent corneal ulcer (unresponsive to all previous treatment, n=30), B) ocular combustion with symblepharon formation where AMT was preceded by keratoplasty (n=5), C) recurrent pterygia (n=10). Results. A) Complete healing of the corneal ulcer was recorded in 50% of eyes and significant reduction in ocular inflammation in 100%, B) corneal graft remained clear and epithelialized and eye motility was satisfactory, C) prevention of pterygium regrowth in 70% of eyes. Conclusion. Amniotic membrane transplantation has shown to be valuable surgical method in reconstruction of ocular surface. CR: None
