Abstract
Amniotic membrane lines the amniotic cavity and protects the fetus during pregnancy, providing physical support and serving as a metabolic filter.
The amniotic membrane is metabolically active and continually remodels and grows to accommodate the developing fetus. This process is controlled by growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and related regulatory factors produced by the endogenous cells in the amniotic membrane.
Amniotic membrane as a biologic dressing has been credited with reduction of pain, as an effective vapor barrier bacteriostatic and as a promoter of wound healing.
Use of dehydrated amniotic membrane as an allograft First utilized in ophthalmic surgery.
Amniotic membrane has been utilized more recently as a potent facilitator of wound healing in various fields, including lower extremity ulcers, ophthalmological surgery, burn, gynecology surgery, orthopedics and a variety of other applications. Healing properties of amniotic membrane gives it a wide range of applications in regenerative medicine, treatment of skin burns and wounds.
Human amniotic membrane dressing significantly increases the success rate of graft take in chronic wound, and it is recommended as an important dressing in chronic burn wounds management, due to its interesting anti-microbial effect, and better graft take effects.
Amniotic membrane use has been extended by air drying, Cryo-Preservation techniques to expand the use of it in ophthalmology, burns, scars and general surgery to reconstruct skin and genitourinary tract.
Aim of the present study to evaluate the effectiveness of using amniotic membrane versus traditional methods.
Selection of number of cases for cesarean section with use of amniotic membrane dressing with follow up of the wound as regard: good healing or presence of any side effects.
In the present study there was mild difference between cases and control groups, so it is needed to do more studies to ensure the results of this study.
