Biaxial Mechanical Behavior of Swine Pelvic Floor Ligaments: Experiments and Modeling
Although mechanical alterations to pelvic floor ligaments, such as the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments, are one contributing factor to the development and progression of pelvic floor disorders, very little research has examined their mechanical properties. In this study, the first biaxial …

Functional and Morphological Characteristics of Smooth Muscle in the Rat Vagina
… and orientations, neural pathways, life events, pelvic floor disorders, and surgical mesh treatment, we present our novel experimental studies that aim toward filling existing knowledge gaps on vaginal tissue morphology and contractile function of the vagina. First, we quantified the large …

Ex Vivo Deformations of the Uterosacral Ligaments
… over-stretched, become weak, and exhibit laxity, pelvic floor disorders such as pelvic organ prolapse occur. Although several surgical procedures to treat pelvic floor disorders are directed toward the USLs, there is still a lot that is unknown about their function. These surgeries often result in …

Mechanical Characterization of Swine Uterosacral and Cardinal Ligaments
… or damaged, leading to the development of pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. In the surgical treatment for PFDs, the USL and CL are extensively used as anchor structures to restore the normal position of the prolapsed …

In vitro screening of inflammatory cell responses to polypropylene-based surgical mesh used in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse
… of polypropylene-based mesh used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) as it was repurposed for gynecological surgery without pre-clinical or clinical testing. Foreign materials implanted in the body activate an immune response that can result in chronic …

Diagnostische Merkmale und Befunde von Patienten mit unterschiedlichen Beckenbodendysfunktionen und analer Inkontinenz
Beckenbodeninsuffizienz ist ein Überbegriff für eine Reihe charakteristischer morphologischer Veränderungen des Beckenbodens, seiner Strukturen und Nerven. Daraus resultieren Defizite in den Funktionsaufgaben, die sich in ihrer stärksten Ausprägung als Eingeweidevorfall, Stuhl- und Urininkontinenz …

Pelvic floor dysfunction in female triathletes
… be associated with adverse effects, including pelvic floor disorders. Nevertheless, there is very little in the literature about pelvic floor effects associated with endurance sports where high-impact exercise is performed at submaximal intensity for prolonged periods of time. Objective: The …

Tearing of Vaginal Tissue under Biaxial Loading: Implications for Women's Health
… studies examining the mechanical behavior of the pelvic floor tissues. Therefore, the mechanical response of healthy and torn vaginal tissue is investigated here to establish quantitative metrics for maternal healthcare. Toward this end, swine and rat vaginal tissue is subjected to biaxial loads …
