Injuries to the eye causing ocular surface damage may develop symblepharon as a complication in which palpebral conjunctiva got adhered to the bulbar conjunctiva or cornea. Removal of adhesions is must for ocular surface reconstruction but chances of recurrence are more in simple removal. A study was done among 10 eyes of 10 patients to see the efficacy, safety and outcome of symblepharon excision with amniotic membrane transplantation. All the patients were operated by a single surgeon with standard technique and all of them were followed up for 6 months. All eyes exhibit a stable, intact corneal epithelial surface and healthy conjunctival growth without developing recurrent erosion or persistent epithelial defect. Visual improvement was seen in 60% of cases. Eighty per cent patients showed symptomatic relief. All eyes exhibited decreased vascularisation and inflammation at final follow-up. Thus, amniotic membrane transplantation is very effective in ocular surface reconstruction in cases of symblepharon and limbal stem cell deficiency.

Seperti pada dewasa, teknik regional anestesi pada pediatrik kini makin popular digunakan oleh ahli anestesikarena keuntungannya. Namun demikian selalu ada risiko dan kemungkinan timbulnya komplikasi dari setiap tindakan yang dilakukan, termasuk tindakan anestesi regional pada pediatrik. Insidensi komplikasi anestesi regional pada pediatrik tidak banyak, dan kalaupun terjadi komplikasi adalah minor. Komplikasi bisa diakibatkan dari identifikasi ruang saraf, alat, obat, teknis tindakan anestesi regionalnya dan komplikasi lainnya.Walaupun tidak banyak kejadian komplikasi regional anestesi yang dilaporkan pada pediatrik, dan bukanlah komplikasi yang fatal, teknik regional anestesi pada pediatrik harus dilakukan dengan lebih hatihati, pertimbangan risiko dan keuntungannya untuk menghindari terjadinya komplikasi, terlebih karena kebanyakan komplikasi dapat dihindari dengan mempelajari teknik yang benar, menggunakan peralatan yang sesuai, dan sangat menerapkan prinsip keamanan pada pasien dengan baik.

Objective To evaluate the treatment effect of amniotic mem brane transplantation on symblepharon. Methods 15 patients(15 eyes) with symblepharon were admitted ocular surface reconstruction by amniotic membrane transplantation. Results There was no obvious conjunctival reaction after surgery. Amniotic membrane survived well and all the ocular surface disorder recovered. Conclusion Amniotic membrane can be used for ocular surface recon struction because of symblepharon.It is safe,effective,easy to use and with rapi d recovery of symblepharon.

Objective To investigate the long-term results of amniotic membrane transplantation for conjunctival surface reconstruction and analyze the involved microsurgical techniques and associated factors. Methods Fifty-one consecutive cases (55 eyes) with symblepharon at degree due to eye burns or Stevens-Johnson syndrome were accepted amniotic membrane transplantation after lysis of symblepharon. Results Observation time varied from 36 to 44 months (mean value, 38±4 months). Fifty-six point four percent(31/55) eyes got enough conjunctival fornix and resolution of eye movement restrict. About sixteen percent of them (9/55) recurred less symblepharon. Fifteen-five eyes of them(27.3%) recurred moderate symblepharon. The results of AMT for those patients with symblepharon at different degree and between those patients who were performed in different time after eye burns had significant difference statistically ( χ 2 test, P 0.01). Conclusion Amniotic membrane can be used to reconstruct large conjunctival surfaces effectively. The long-term results of amniotic membrane transplantation for conjunctival surface reconstruction will be influenced by surgical techniques, the degree of symblepharon, dry eye, inflammatory condition and whether remained partial healthy conjunctiva in the affected eyes before surgery.

Introduction: Chemical burns of the eyes are one of the important causes of visual disability. Chemical burns particularly alkali burn may lead to gross limbal stem cell deficiency. Amniotic membrane transplantation with limbal graft is a good method for ocular surface reconstruction. Case: A 39 years male presented to Biratnagar Eye Hospital after 5 months of chemical injury with redness, pain, photophobia and gradual loss of vision. His visual acuity was counting fingers close to face in both eyes. Amniotic membrane transplantation alone was done in right eye while in left eye limbal stem cell allograft was combined with amniotic membrane transplantation. There was not much visual improvement in right eye while left eye improved significantly to 6/60.Conclusion: Limbal stem cell graft with amniotic membrane transplantation can be an effective method of restoring vision and reducing symptoms rather than amniotic membrane transplantation alone in cases with total limbal stem cell deficiency following chemical burn.

Objective To compare the results of amniotic membrane transplantation(AMT)and oral mucosa membrane transplantation(MT)for conjunctival surface reconstruction.Methods One hundred and two eyes of 98 cases who received symblepharon lysis combined AMT or MT for conjunctival surface reconstruction due to symblepharon after eye bums were retrospectively examined,and their history and eye conditions were recorded.Results The follow-up time was 0.5 to 18 years(mean 15.2±21.0 months).There were significant difference statistically between the effects of these two surgeries for conjunctival surface reconstruction in those patients with severe symblepharon(x2=8.240,P=0.016),MT was better.In the cases who received their first AMT,the surgical effects for patients with moderate symblepharon depended on the intervals from burns to surgery(x2=18.980,P=0.001).It was the best for over 12 months after bums.Meanwhile,in the cases who received MT,there was no close relationship between surgical effect and the interval time.The effect of conjunctival reconstruction with MT was better than that with AMT when surgeries were performed in 6-12 months after eye burns(x2=6.949,P=0.031).Conclusions Oral mucosal membrane has at least the same effect of anmiotic membrane for conjunctival surface reconstruction after symblepharon lysis.The effect of AMT depends on the interval time from eye bums to surgery,but MT does not.Oral mucosal membrane transplantation may be better than amniotic membrane transplantation for those patients with severe symblepharon.
