Advanced surgical treatment to restore damaged eye surface and eyelid lining in severe ocular surface conditions.
Mucous Membrane Grafting in Pune
Mucous membrane grafting (MMG) is a specialised procedure used to repair and reconstruct damaged tissues of the eye, particularly the eyelids and ocular surface.
In this procedure, healthy tissue is usually taken from the inner lip or mouth and transplanted to the affected area to restore a smooth, protective surface.
At Aapulki Eye Care, this treatment is used in complex cases where the normal eye surface has been damaged due to scarring, injury, or disease.
What is Mucous Membrane Grafting?
Mucous membrane grafting is a surgical technique where tissue from the mouth is used to replace damaged or scarred lining of the eye or eyelids.
This procedure helps to:
- Replace keratinised or scarred tissue
- Protect the cornea from damage
- Restore a smooth and moist surface for proper eye function
It is commonly used in conditions where normal tissue cannot heal on its own.
How the Procedure is Performed
- Tissue is carefully taken from the inner lip or cheek
- The damaged tissue on the eye is removed
- The graft is placed and secured over the affected area
- The graft integrates with surrounding tissue over time
The donor site in the mouth typically heals quickly after the procedure.
When is Mucous Membrane Grafting Required?
This procedure is recommended in severe ocular surface conditions such as:
- Eyelid margin keratinisation
- Cicatricial entropion (inward turning of eyelid)
- Symblepharon (scar tissue in the eye)
- Severe dry eye with surface damage
- Chemical or thermal eye injuries
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome and similar conditions
These conditions can cause irritation, pain, and damage to the cornea if not treated properly.
