Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is the cornerstone treatment for various hematopoietic disorders, but its utility is often compromised by chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), affecting skin integrity and leading to ulcer formations. Traditional treatments, including systemic and topical therapies, frequently fail in severe cases. This study retrospectively examines three patients with therapy-resistant ulcers due to cGvHD post-alloSCT treated at the University Hospital of Regensburg in 2023. We evaluated the therapeutic impact of human amniotic membrane (hAM) transplantation—a novel approach utilizing hAM’s anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-fibrotic properties for wound healing. Surgical debridement was followed by hAM application and routine follow-up. HAM transplantation led to complete wound closure in two out of three patients and a significant reduction in local pain and infection rates. The treatment alleviated the need for regular dressing changes within three months in two patients, demonstrating the hAM’s efficacy in fostering rapid and sustained healing. The utilization of hAM represents a promising alternative for the management of refractory skin ulcers in cGvHD patients, particularly when conventional methods are inadequate.
