Abstract
Transplantation of an autologous cultivated conjunctival epithelial sheet facilitated early postoperative epithelialization and recovery, and may aid in preventing serious complications associated with simple denuded HAM transplantation, such as scleral necrosis and secondary infection. This may provide a novel method for conjunctival epithelial replacement in the treatment of ocular surface disorders.
