Abstract

In this study, the rectus sheath and amniotic membrane were utilized to repair tunica albuginea damage in rabbits. Ten male New Zealand white rabbits were included in the study. Group 1 consisted of 5 rabbits in which the tunica albuginea injury was repaired using amniotic membrane from pregnant rabbits. Group 2 consisted of 5 rabbits in which their rectus sheath was used to repair the tunica albuginea injury. Our results showed that both the use of amniotic membrane and rectus sheath are effective in repairing tunica albuginea damage in rabbits. Based on our macroscopic and microscopic findings, there was no statistically significant difference between the effectiveness of amniotic membrane and rectus sheath in repairing tunica albuginea damage. Both the amniotic membrane and the rectus sheath were equally effective in repairing tunica albuginea damage.
