Abstract
Chronic wounds and non-healing tissue defects pose significant clinical challenges, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. A comprehensive literature review of amniotic membrane transplantation for wound healing and tissue repair evaluates the efficacy and safety of amniotic membrane transplantation in enhancing wound healing and tissue repair. Amniotic membranes promote wound closure and reduce inflammation and scarring via abundant growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components, which foster conducive environments for tissue regeneration. Amniotic membrane transplantation is effective in various medical disciplines, including ophthalmology, dermatology, and orthopedics. Low immunogenicity and anti-microbial properties ensure their safe application. Amniotic membrane transplantation offers a promising therapeutic approach for wound healing and tissue repair, and further research is warranted to explore its regenerative potential fully.
