Human amniotic membrane graft removal and histopathologic evaluation following closure of a full thickness macular hole
This case shows the efficacy of dehydrated human amniotic membrane (hAM) graft to close a persistent full thickness macular hole and restore retinal layers. OCT imaging, prior to hAM removal, noted the hAM integration into the inner retina. In addition, we show that the graft can be removed after 6 months without obvious damage to the retina.
