King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center

Following the severe complications widely reported in some women following polypropylene suburethral mesh implantation for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, it has become clear that careful preclinical study in an appropriate animal model is essential. The preclinical model described here allows the postoperative clinical and histochemical assessment of material implanted in the sheep vagina and represents a model that allows prediction of the potential vaginal tissue responses to suburethral mesh implantation before implantation into humans.
