The Effect of Autologous Serum Eye Drops on the Conjunctivalization over Exposed Porous Polyethylene Orbital Implant (Medpor^®) in the Rabbit Model

Abstract

In a rabbit model, 20% AS did not appear to facilitate the healing of small conjunctival defects of exposed porous orbital implant.

Topical autologous serum promotes enucleation wound healing in retinoblastoma patients

“…8 Although the therapeutic effect of TAS on the conjunctiva has not been fully studied, vitamin A and EGF were found to be essential in maintaining normal conjunctival histology and be required in the cultivation of conjunctival epithelial cells in serum-free media. 9,10 Furthermore, clinical studies have demonstrated the benefit of TAS in treating hyperpermeability of avascular bleb walls.…”

Autologous serum for anterior tissue necrosis after porous orbital implant

“…Kim and associates studied the effect of AS on the conjunctivalization of exposed porous polyethylene implants in a rabbit model 5. Although there was no statistical difference between the AS group and the control group, but there was a more rapid conjunctival growth rate with higher complete healing rate in cases treated with AS.…”
