Amniotic arthroplasty According to Volkov

Amnionic arthoplasty (Amniotic Arthroplasty) is an operation performed in some cases for fetal developmental anomalies (Sent's arcoplasia - lack of skin over the upper part of the fetal head or absence of the oral cavity).

This transplant involves the insertion and maintenance of amniotic tissue, which will provide the formation of skin tissue over the upper part of the head, the oral cavity and for the formation of the nasal bones.

The technique for amnioplasty of the aortic and dorsal membrane involves its dissection. The operation is performed on a dead fetus. The uterine muscle is cut and the allantois or fetal bones (donor or recipient) are removed. The entire operation is performed under general anesthesia. Through a 4 cm incision in the uterus, the amnion is inserted and excess embryological fluid is expelled. The allanthos is then isolated and implanted into the upper part of the head or other defects. The amnion is demarcated for no more than 6 weeks, then it can be reimplanted back. Amnioplasty is performed only if it is not possible to perform a classic medial pleurectomy. Due to the instability of the blood of newborns.
