[Morphopathogenesis of the amniotic membrane after its transplantation in the course of experimental conjunctiva plasty].

The paper contains the results of an experimental study of the clinical healing of the standard wound defect in the bulbar conjunctiva of rabbit after conjunctiva-plasty involving the use of the human amnion transplant; there is also a description of a histological study of reparative processes in the adjacent tissues and a description of morphological changes occurring in the transplant during the healing process. The study was made on 14 rabbits (28 eyes). It was established that the wound-surface healing occurs, beneath the amnion transplant, without a pronounced inflammation, scarring or immunologic-rejection reaction; its sequence is typical of inflammation and compensatory processes with the formation, in the outcome, of the conjunctiva coating of the eyeball, whose color and composition are ordinary.
