PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of amniotic membrane in reducing @entity32 , @entity82 , adhesion formation, and ocular motility restrictions following strabismus surgery. METHODS: In the first stage of this prospective, randomized study, 17 @entity95 underwent superior rectus muscle recession in both eyes. Surgery was performed in the same manner, but @entity1 amniotic membrane was placed over the muscle without sutures in the right eye after recession. After 15 days, the @entity95 were killed and their orbits were exenterated and evaluated histopathologically to quantify tissue @entity32 and @entity82 . In the second stage, 5 @entity95 underwent the same procedure but were killed after 30 days. A dynamometer was used to measure the force required to displace all eyes. RESULTS: At 15 days postoperatively, eyes with amniotic membrane exhibited an increased inflammatory response and less @entity82 than eyes without amniotic membrane. At 30 days postoperatively, eyes with amniotic membrane continued to exhibit @entity32 and less @entity82 than eyes without amniotic membrane. In the dynamometer test, more force was needed to displace eyes without amniotic membrane after 15 days, but there was no significant difference between the forces required at 30 days. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 amniotic membrane in @entity95 led to an increase in the inflammatory process and a decrease in @entity82 formation following strabismus surgery.
