Introduction: Amniotic membrane contains collagen, cytokines and growth factors, is immune privileged, and has been shown to modulate inflammation and reduce scarring. Dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) allografts have been used in many clinical and surgical applications to facilitate healing. We describe our experience of using commercially available dHACM allograft as an adhesion barrier in women undergoing da Vinci robot laparoscopy at an outpatient surgery center.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
