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)

VDR, CXCR1, CXCR2, PSCA Polymorphisms and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Women: Genetic Association Study
ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the largest study to date, finding no significant associations. Previously reported positive associations may have been due to type 1 error, or genotyping errors. Future studies should adjust for confounders and employ adequate sample sizes. A greater understanding of the genetic components associated with rUTI may influence future treatment guidelines and screening for susceptible patients.

Evaluation of Outcomes Between the Top-down Versus the Bottom-up Approach for Retropubic Midurethral Sling
ConclusionsThe top-down approach to retropubic MUS placement was associated with lower rates of mesh erosion in this population of patients. Neither approach is associated with an increased overall risk of complications or de novo overactive bladder symptoms. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)
