Amniotic Membrane Grafting

Amniotic membrane graft is placed epithelial side up on the ocular surface and cornea. The identification of the stromal side is by noting the stickiness. The membrane may be placed as inlay to fill the areas of stromal thinning as one layer or as a multilayer graft.



Amniotic membrane (innermost layer of the placenta) is used as a biological dressing harvested from the human placenta at the time of a planned caesarean section and is properly screened for transmissible diseases.
It is beneficial for many ocular conditions like non- healing corneal defects, corneal melts, chemical burns, pterygium, partialimbal stem cell deficiency, dry eye disease, Stevens Johnson Syndrome and conjunctival tumours etc. where the ocular surface becomes compromised leading to pain, visual loss or an undesirable cosmetic appearance. AMG helps in patient recovery by reducing inflammation, promoting regenerative healing’ suppressing pain associated with inflammation ad achieving a superior cosmetic outcome

What are amniotic membrane grafts?

Amniotic membrane graft is placed epithelial side up on the ocular surface and cornea. The identification of the stromal side is by noting the stickiness. The membrane may be placed as inlay to fill the areas of stromal thinning as one layer or as a multilayer graft.

How long does an amniotic membrane graft last?

How long does amniotic membrane last on eyes? After application, an amniotic membrane is dissolved into your eye within about a week. An eye doctor will check for the dissolution of the membrane and also determine whether you need a follow-up procedure in the future.

Why is an amniotic membrane graft used in pterygium?

Therefore, by reducing inflammation and scarring with amniotic membrane, we may decrease the risk of pterygium recurrence. Theoretically, these properties make it an ideal candidate for a tissue graft during pterygium surgery. Amniotic membrane is obtained from healthy, caesarian section, full-term births.

What are the risks of the amniotic membrane?

Keratitis: Contamination of the amniotic membrane may cause keratitis, which involves inflammation of the cornea. Infection: In rare cases, an amniotic membrane transplant may transmit an infection that may occur during delivery of the placenta.

How thick is the amniotic membrane?

The AM is 0.02-0.05 mm thick and is classically considered to be composed of three layers.

What are the disadvantages of membranes?

( e ) The basic concept is simple to understand. Disadvantages : ( a ) Membranes are expensive. ( b ) Certain solvents can quickly and permanently destroy the membrane. ( c ) Certain colloidal solids, especially graphite and residues from vibratory deburring operations, can permanently foul the membrane surface.

What are the layers of the amniotic membrane?

The amniotic membrane (AM) is the inner layer of the fetal membranes and consist of 3 different layers: the epithelium, basement membrane and stroma which further consists of three contiguous but distinct layers: the inner compact layer, middle fibroblast layer and the outermost spongy layer.

What is the amniotic membrane in stem cell therapy?

Scientists use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the human placental amniotic membrane to regulate oxidative stress and reduce amyloid-β plaques that will help boost learning and memory and alleviate the pathology of AD [165]. Amniotic fluid forms two weeks after fertilization to protect the embryo.

What are the dangers of membrane rupture?

A significant risk of PPROM is that the baby is very likely to be born within a few days of the membrane rupture. Another major risk of PROM is development of a serious infection of the placental tissues called chorioamnionitis, which can be very dangerous for mother and baby.

Can baby survive with ruptured membranes?

Yes, the fetus can survive if your water breaks too soon. It depends on factors like the age of the pregnancy and how much amniotic fluid is left. Your pregnancy care provider will watch for signs of fetal distress and infection to determine when they should deliver your baby.

Can a baby survive without amniotic fluid?

Can a baby live without amniotic fluid? No. A fetus needs some amniotic fluid in the uterus to survive. However, the exact amount of amniotic fluid it needs depends on its gestational age and other factors.

Is labour more painful after waters break?

Breaking your waters

This is also known as artificial rupture of the membranes (ARM). Your midwife or doctor can do this by making a small break in the membrane during a vaginal examination. This may make your contractions feel stronger and more painful, so your midwife will talk to you about pain relief.

Amniotic Membrane Grafting Symptoms

Symptoms Indicating Amniotic Membrane Grafting:

Persistent Eye Discomfort:Chronic irritation or pain despite treatment.
Non-Healing Corneal Ulcers:Ulcers on the cornea that do not improve with standard therapies.
Severe Dry Eye: Extreme dryness and discomfort in the eyes.
Corneal Scarring: Scarring or clouding of the cornea affecting vision.
Chemical Burns: Damage to the eye from chemical exposure.
Chronic Inflammation: Ongoing redness and swelling of the ocular surface.

Risk Factors:

Amniotic Membrane Grafting Risk Factors:

Infection: Risk of infection at the graft site.
Graft Rejection:Potential for the body to reject the graft.
Displacement: Graft may shift or become dislodged.
Delayed Healing: Some patients may experience slower healing.

Causes of Amniotic Membrane Grafting

Amniotic membrane grafting is typically used to address a variety of conditions and injuries affecting the ocular surface and other tissues. The common causes that may necessitate this procedure include:

Corneal Ulcers: Non-healing or recurrent ulcers on the cornea, often resulting from infections, trauma, or chronic dry eye.
Chemical Burns:Damage to the eye caused by exposure to corrosive chemicals, which can severely affect the corneal surface.
Pterygium:A growth of conjunctival tissue on the cornea, which may recur after surgical removal.
Severe Dry Eye: Chronic dryness and discomfort due to conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome or other tear deficiency disorders.
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome:A severe reaction that causes widespread damage to the mucous membranes, including the ocular surface.
Burns and Trauma: Injuries from thermal burns, mechanical trauma, or other severe eye injuries.
Persistent Epithelial Defects: Chronic, non-healing defects in the corneal epithelium caused by various underlying conditions.

Amniotic membrane grafting helps address these issues by providing a biological dressing that promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and minimizes scar formation on damaged tissues.

Amblyopia (Amniotic Membrance Grafting) causes blurry vision in one eye when something affects how a child’s eyes are developing. As their brain ignores the weaker eye, that eye drifts out of position. Amblyopia is the most common vision issue that affects kids. It’s rare, but amblyopia can affect both eyes at the same time.



What does amblyopia look like?

You might not be able to see anything physically different in your child’s eyes if they have amblyopia. Their affected eye may not line up with the stronger eye — it might look off-center or like it’s drifting in a direction that doesn’t match where they’re looking.

Amblyopia is the most common reason kids lose their vision. It affects around 5% of children younger than 15.
