Homologous amniotic membrane as a dural substitute in decompressive craniectomies

Application of amniotic membranes in reconstructive surgery of internal organs—A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…The PRISMA flowchart is shown in Figure 2. Sixty references containing 26 human studies (Ambrus, 1967; Barski et al., 2015; Catalano & Conticello, 1968; De Weerd et al., 2013, 2020; Eichberg et al., 2018, 2019; Frigerio et al., 2019; Ghahramani et al., 2017; Kakabadze et al., 2016; Kumar et al., 2015; Marton et al., 2021; Pignatti et al., 2020; Price & Price, 2016; Razzaghi et al., 2020; Rohleder et al., 2013; Schoellhammer et al., 2018; Schrimpf, 1954; Singh et al., 2011; Tahami et al., 2020; Tomita et al., 2012; Ts'ao, 1960; Tumanov et al., 2006; Turchan et al., 2018; Walker et al., 2018; Zmijewski & Pietraszek, 2005) and 36 animal studies (Barski et al., 2017; Brown et al., 2014; Demir et al., 2021; Ercin et al., 2019; Erdener et al., 1992; Ferhatoglu et al., 2019; Fishman et al., 1987; Francisco et al., 2016; Ghahramani et al., 2014; Güneş et al., 2016, 2017; Hariastawa et al., 2020; Iijima et al., 2007; Ismail, Marcos, et al., 2009; Ismail, Ramsis, et al., 2009; Kesting et al., 2008, 2010; Li et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2021; Mohajeri et al., 2014; Moslemi et al., 2016; Orman et al., 2020; Rohleder et al., 2013; Roshanravan et al., 2014; Schimidt et al., 2010; Scott et al., 2021; Scudamore et al., 1988; Senthil‐Kumar et al., 2016; Tomita et al.,…”

“…Complications in the included human studies and animal studies are shown in Tables 3 and 5 , respectively. In the human studies, the most common complication was infection (Eichberg et al., 2018 ; Marton et al., 2021 ; Razzaghi et al., 2020 ; Schrimpf, 1954 ; Tahami et al., 2020 ; Tomita et al., 2012 ; Walker et al., 2018 ), followed by leakage (Eichberg et al., 2019 ; Walker et al., 2018 ; Zmijewski & Pietraszek, 2005 ). In the animal studies, all complications were counted as separate events, regardless of whether they occurred in the same animal.…”

Biological properties and surgical applications of the human amniotic membrane

“…The majority (96%) of AM grafts were integrated into the native dura. Histopathological analysis showed that AM had thick plates of dense fibrous tissue with small reactive vessels, reactive fibroblasts, and infiltrating lymphocytes (Marton et al, 2021). The fibrosis process and the generation of adhesions in the spine after epidural laminectomy have been reduced by the implantation of Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology frontiersin.org cryopreserved AM in the surgical site of animal model (Choi et al, 2011).…”

Dural Reconstruction Materials for the Repairing of Spinal Neoplastic Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks

“…The human amniotic membrane (AM) as an alternative has been widely used in many clinical and surgical fields, even in treating peripheral nerve injuries, and has anti-inflammatory, antiadhesive, antifibrotic effects, wound healing, and strong epithelialization proprieties. , AM is a thin membrane on the inner side of the fetal placenta and has no graft rejection after transplantation because it lacks expression of human leukocyte antigens A, B, DR, etc . Tomita et al first reported in 2012 that dried human AM as an intracranial substitute to autologous tissue for dural repair is feasible in the skull base surgery without CSF leakage and adverse reaction .…”
