Homologous cryopreserved amniotic membrane in the repair of myelomeningocele: preliminary experience.

We present a multimodal interposition technique using AM as a reconstructive and anti-adhesive tissue for the treatment of open myelomeningocele (MMC) and lipomeningocele (LMC) treatment. In our experience, AM proved its efficacy in restoring the dural sac integrity without complications. We support the use of AM as a promising dural substitute, speculating on how the use of AM could potentially change reconstructive strategies for spinal dysraphism.
