The aim of study was to investigate the efficiency of preserved human amniotic membrane transplantation for conjunctival surface reconstruction in cases having symblepharon.Preserved amniotic membrane transplantation was performed in four eyes out of four cases having symblepharon and fornices insufficiency due to the chemical burn . Amniotic membrane was sutured to the intact conjunctiva after fibrotic tissue excision.Fornices was constructed in cases having fornices insufficiency. The cases were followed up 8.7 months (6-24 months).During the follow up period conjunctival membrane reconstruction was achieved in three patients without recurrence and with mild fibrosis . In these cases , improved eye movements and deep fornices was observed . In one case who had no healthy conjunctiva preoperatively conjunctival fibrosis and symblepharon was recurred.It was concluded that preserved human amniotic membrane transplantation is an good alternative treatment method for conjunctival surface reconstruction in cases having some healthy peripherial conjunctival tissue.Keywords: Symblepharon, Preserved human amniotic membrane transplantationTurkiye Klinikleri J Ophthalmol 2002, 11:57-61
