Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for Conjunctival Tumor

摘要

＜正＞ Purpose:To evaluate the possibility of amniotic membrane transplantation （AMT） for the treatment of conjunctival tumor.Methods:Preserved AMT was performed in 26 patients （26 eyes） with conjunctival tumor, including 9 eyes （34.62％） with malignant tumor （conjunctival malignant melanoma, corneal and conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, conjunctival lymphoma）, 17 eyes （65.38％） with benign tumor（conjunctival papilloma, conjunctival dermoid tumor, conjunctival nevus, hemangioma etc.）.Result:All the patients are followed up for 1～53 months. No acute rejection was observed after preserved AMT. Ideal healing was found in conjunctiva wound.Conclusion:Preserved AMT is a very effective method to repair wound after giant conjunctival tumor operation. Complete removal of tumor and perfect fixation are the key of ocular surface reconstruction. Eye Science 2003;19:165-167.
