Mucous Membrane Grafting in Ambala City

Mucous membrane graft acts as a basement membrane and is indicated in many cases like Steven Johnson syndrome, chemical injury, socket reconstruction, and Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid. The graft can be harvested from labial or buccal mucosa. Though being safe and simple, the procedure can have untoward complications like graft failure, graft shrinkage, dislodgement of graft, and donor site morbidity. The article, in brief, describes the indication, technique, and complications of the procedure.

What is MMG in eye surgery?
Mucous membrane graft (MMG) is used for moderate-to-severe cicatricial entropion repair either in primary or recurrent cases.
What is MMG in medical terms?
The mechanomyogram (MMG) is the mechanical signal observable from the surface of a muscle when the muscle is contracted. At the onset of muscle contraction, gross changes in the muscle shape cause a large peak in the MMG.
Can mucous membranes repair?
Ordinarily, rapid cell turnover is part of what makes your mucosa the protective barrier that it is. It allows the mucous membrane to regularly refresh itself, clearing out abrasive particles and pathogens and healing quickly from injuries.
What is mucous membrane treatment?
Individuals with widespread or severe MMP may be treated with systemic corticosteroids such as prednisone and/or immunosuppressive drugs such as mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide or azathioprine.
What foods are good for mucous membrane?
Plant-based foods – Plant-based soups, salads, and smoothies are vital additions for those battling mucus. Some veggies and fruits, including leafy greens, tomatoes, onions, grapes, blueberries, and cherries, contain quercetin. This pigment is a powerful anti-histamine, which reduces phlegm and other allergy symptoms.
How do you clean mucous membranes?
The most common nasal hygiene agent is saline solution, which is a solution of water and salt. This can be dropped, sprayed, or flushed into the nose to clean it out. Saline solution keeps the mucous membranes moist, which helps to keep them intact and prevents microbes from crossing the membranes into the body.
How do you fix dry mucous membranes?
  1. Petroleum jelly. Use your fingers to apply a very small dab of petroleum jelly to the lining inside of your nose. 
  2. Humidifier. 
  3. Saline nasal spray.
  4. Damp wipes. 
  5. Steam or sauna.
What kind of doctor treats mucous membrane pemphigoid?
This is why this condition is sometimes called cicatricial (“scarring”) pemphigoid. Scarring can be prevented or slowed if caught early. As such, we advise that an ophthalmologist follow you regularly.
What is mucosal disease?
Mucosal disorders can develop in a variety of ways: Candidiasis is often caused by humid conditions, damaged skin or a depressed immune system. Canker sores are the result of a condition called aphthous stomatitis, and brought on by a weakened immune system, food allergies, viruses, bacteria and poor nutrition.
What disease attacks mucous membranes?
Mucous membrane pemphigoid is an autoimmune disorder that causes blisters to form in the mucous membranes of the body. The mucous membranes most often affected are the mouth and eyes. Mucous membrane pemphigoid occurs when the immune system attacks the mucous membranes and causes blisters and sores.
What are the 3 main functions of mucus?
It serves as a lubricant to keep tissues from drying out. It’s also a line of defense. “Mucus is very important for filtering out materials that you breathe in through your nose, such as dust and allergens and microorganisms,” says Dr. Andrew Lane, an ear, nose, and throat expert at Johns Hopkins University.
What are the characteristics of a mucous membrane?
It consists of one or more layers of epithelial cells overlying a layer of loose connective tissue. It is mostly of endodermal origin and is continuous with the skin at body openings such as the eyes, eyelids, ears, inside the nose, inside the mouth, lips, the genital areas, the urethral opening and the anus.

Mucous membrane grafting Symptoms

  • Severe Dry Eye: Persistent dryness, irritation, and discomfort unresponsive to conventional treatments.
  • Corneal Ulcers: Recurrent or non-healing ulcers on the cornea.
  • Chronic Inflammation: Ongoing inflammation causing redness, pain, and swelling.
  • Scarring or Opacity: Scarring or clouding of the corneal surface leading to vision impairment.
  • Eyelid Defects: Structural abnormalities affecting the ocular surface.
  • Persistent Epithelial Defects: Non-healing defects on the corneal epithelium.

Risk Factors:

  • Infection: Risk at the graft or donor site.
  • Graft Rejection: Potential for the body to reject the grafted tissue.
  • Scarring: Potential scarring at the graft or donor site affecting appearance and function.
  • Donor Site Morbidity: Discomfort or complications at the graft harvest site.

    Causes of Mucous Membrane Grafting 

    The exact cause of mucous membrane pemphigoid is unknown. MMP is an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune disorders are caused when the body’s natural defenses (antibodies or immunoglobulins) against “foreign” or invading organisms (antigens) begin to attack healthy tissue for unknown reasons. The term autoantibody is used to describe antibodies that are created to attack healthy tissue. The term autoantigen (“self” antigen) is used to describe the normal tissues and cells of the body that are targeted by the autoantibodies.

    In patients who have MMP, autoantibodies are being produced that attack the basement membrane zone (BMZ) of the epithelium. The BMZ can be thought of as a sort of “glue” that holds the outer layer of skin (epidermis or oral epithelium) onto the underlying tissues. Once this glue is attacked and destroyed by the autoantibodies, the skin is no longer tacked down, allowing it to lift off and produce blisters.

    Researchers believe that in some cases affected individuals may have a genetic susceptibility to developing some forms of MMP. In these cases several factors may contribute to the development of the disorder including immunological, genetic, environmental, and/or other factors.

    In a very small number of patients, MMP may be caused by the use of certain prescription drugs. Skin lesions associated with some cases of MMP may appear following trauma to the affected area. Some cases of MMP affecting the eyes may become apparent after eye (ocular) surgery such as cataract removal.

    Kids Cataract Surgeries

    Amblyopia (Mucous Membrane 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.
