Abstract
The amniotic membrane is a layer that directly covers the amniotic cavity derived from trophoblast cells with various types of pluripotent cells so that it has clinical potential. This membrane is essential for intrauterine fetal growth and development. The amniotic membrane has been widely studied to have various functions, one of which is in the process of wound healing, both acute and chronic. One type of acute wound that begins to use the amniotic membrane as a dressing material is a cesarean section wound. In cesarean section, there is an acute wound due to the incision of the abdominal wall and uterus. The process of wound healing, especially in the epithelial part, is the same as other acute wound healing, which consists of the process of migration, proliferation and cross-linking between cells in the epithelium. In general, the amniotic membrane has clinical potential, especially in wound healing. This relates to the various substrates and the molecules contained therein. In some clinical studies also found a positive effect on wound healing. However, specifically discussing its clinical effectiveness in caesarean section wounds is still limited. Therefore, in this literature, we will discuss the use of the amniotic membranes in wound healing for cesarean sections.
