INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Fully absorbable implants may be an alternative to permanent meshes in the correction pf pelvic organ prolapse (POP) as they may reduce adverse events by promoting tissue regeneration and collagen metabolism. This study was aimed at evaluating the long-term host and biomechanical response to a fully absorbable poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) scaffold in comparison with polypropylene (PP) mesh.
METHODS: Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate scaffold (n = 16) and PP mesh (n = 16) were surgically implanted in the posterior vaginal wall of parous female Dohne Merino sheep. Vaginal explants were evaluated in terms of gross necropsy, host response (immune response, collagen deposition, tissue regeneration), biomechanics, and degradation of P4HB at 12 and 24 months post-implantation.
RESULTS: Gross necropsy revealed no infection or fluid collection using P4HB or PP. At 12 months, exposures were observed with both P4HB (3 out of 8) and PP (4 out of 8), whereas at 24 months, exposures were observed only with PP (4 out of 8). The tensile stiffness of the P4HB explants was maintained over time despite complete absorption of P4HB. The collagen amount of the vaginal tissue after P4HB implantation increased over time and was significantly higher than PP at 24 months. P4HB scaffolds exhibited significantly lower myofibroblast differentiation than PP meshes at 24 months.
CONCLUSIONS: The 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.
