Article Synopsis
- Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) causes urinary incontinence and significantly affects quality of life, with current surgical treatments often leading to recurrence, highlighting the need for non-surgical options.
- This study focused on developing a mucoadhesive bilayer membrane for non-operative VVF treatment, testing three treatments: estrogen, amniotic membrane, and a combination of amino acids (arginine and glutamine).
- Results showed that, by the tenth day, the bilayer membrane with arginine and glutamine led to the highest expression of genes linked to cell proliferation and adhesion, suggesting it may be the most effective treatment option for VVF.
