Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the use of human amniotic membrane for ocular surface reconstruction after conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma resection.
Methods: Amniotic membrane was obtained at the time of cesarean section and was preserved at -80 masculineC in glycerol and cornea culture media at a ratio of 1:1. The inclusion criteria were patients presenting proliferating lesions suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma (flat or elevated white lesions resembling "fish meat") that involve the conjunctiva, limbus and cornea.
