Two-Year Preclinical Evaluation of Long-Term Absorbable Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate Scaffold for Surgical Correction of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
ConclusionsThe P4HB scaffold allowed for gradual load transfer to the vaginal wall and resulted in mechanically self-sufficient tissue. P4HB scaffold had a more favorable host response than PP mesh, with higher collagen content, lower myofibroblastic differentiation, and no exposures at 24 months. P4HB scaffolds have potential as an alternative to permanent implants in treating POP. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)
