Nasal Floor Mucosa: New Donor Site for Mucous Membrane Grafts

Abstract

Nasal floor mucosa should be considered a donor site when a mucous membrane graft is needed. The surgery is safe, easy to perform, and has less morbidity than either a nasal turbinate graft or a buccal mucosal graft.

3D-Printed membrane as an alternative to amniotic membrane for ocular surface/conjunctival defect reconstruction: An in vitro & in vivo study

“…Despite favorable results [14][15][16], autologous tissues have some limitations to replace the absent conjunctiva or modulate the healing process, including unavailability of healthy conjunctiva in autoimmune diseases, cosmetic issues, and absence of goblets [7]. Therefore, allografts such as pericardium [10] and amniotic membrane (AM) have been introduced.…”
