Homo:transplant material, esp. for conjunctiva - comprising retro:peritoneal fascia tissue

摘要

Novel homotransplant material, esp. for repairing damaged conjunctiva, comprises retroperitoneal fascia tissue (I). (I) gives better results than known materials (e.g. labial, oesophagal, vaginal or conjunctival tissue); it is not subject to immune rejection, promotes rapid epithelisation (e.g. within 3-5 days) without significant scarring, and can be readily obtained in relatively large amts.
