“…In our experience, AMT could effectively heal the ulcers similar to other reports. [21][22][23][24][25][26] The healing was with corneal epithelial phenotype in six eyes. Three eyes healed by conjunctival epithelial phenotype which can be explained by the difference in the cause of the epithelial defects, associated problems and the previous treatments, and thus by the extent of initial damage to the ocular surface.…”

“…Literatürde bu oran %66-93 arasında değişmektedir. [20][21][22][23] Tek başına veya LKHT ile kombine uygulandığında AMT parsiyel limbal kök hücre yetmezliğinde mikroçevrenin onarılmasını, geriye kalan kök hücrelerin rejenerasyonunu, dolayısıyla da yetmezliğin gerilemesini sağlamaktadır ve sonradan yapılacak olan LKHT için limbal stromayı hazırlamaktadır. 24 Ayrıca, aynı seansta yapılan AMT ve LKHT ile AMT'nin ardın-dan farklı bir seansta yapılan LKHT'nin sonuçları benzer bulunduğundan, LKHT'nin ikinci bir seansta uygulanması tavsiye edilmektedir.…”

“…Amniotic membrane has been widely used in ophthalmology for corneal repair, especially in cases with loss of the stroma tissue such as deep ulcerative keratitis, descemetocele, loss of cornea-sclera tissue after excision of neoplasias, symblepharon, eye burns, and pterygia among others (De Rotth 1940, Lee & Tseng 1997, Shimazaki et al 1997, Cheng et al 2000, Chikamoto et al 2001, Hanada et al 2001, Solomon et al 2001. In veterinary medicine its utility has been growing.…”
