Abstract

SYNOPSIS: HUMAN AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION (HAM-T) IS A VERY VERSATILE TOOL FOR THE OCULAR SURFACE SURGEONS. HAM-T PROVIDES TECTONIC SUPPORT AND HAS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND GROWTH FACTORS WHICH HELP IN RESTORATION OF COMPROMISED OCULAR SURFACE. HAM-T FINDS USE IN ACUTE CONDITIONS LIKE CHEMICAL OR THERMAL BURN AND STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME; AS PROTECTIVE COVER OVER SURFACE EPITHELIAL DEFECTS, AND AS AN ADJUNCT IN OTHER SURFACE PROCEDURES LIKE PTERYGIUM EXCISION, LIMBAL CELL TRANSPLANTATION, CONJUNCTIVAL MASS EXCISION AND BLEB REPAIR.

OBJECTIVE: AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS VIDEO-BASED COURSE, THE SURGEON WILL ABLE TO DESCRIBE (1) HOW TO PROCESS AND PREPARE HAM FROM HUMAN PLACENTA, (2) DIFFERENT TYPES OF HAM AVAILABLE, (3) VARIOUS INDICATIONS OF HAM-T IN OCULAR SURFACE SURGERY AND (4) VARIOUS SURGICAL TECHNIQUES OF HAM-T.
