Purpose: To determine the results and satisfaction of the patients underwent transvaginal repair of cystocele in our clinic.
Materials And Methods: From January 2006 to October 2010, 15 patients with a mean age of 64 years (ranged 47-85 years) underwent transvaginal cystocele repair using acellular collagen biomesh. The patients were presented with vaginal mass in 10, dyspareunia and urge incontinence in 5 while 4 of them had both stress and urge incontinence. Grade 4 cystocele was determined in 2 patients, grade 3 in 9 and grade 2 in 4. Concomitant transobturator tape (TOT) was performed in 4 patients. Patient satisfactions were determined after the operation.
Results: The mean follow-up time was 23.5 (12-60) months. There was no postoperative complication in early follow- up period. Cystocele was recurrent in 1 patient. The success rate was 93.4%. Urinary incontinence was continued in 1 patient after TOT. Nearly all of the patients (14/15) were satisfied from the operation.
Conclusion: Transvaginal cystocele repair with using acellular collagen biomesh appears to be a safe and effective method. Further prospective and randomized controlled studies including large series of patients are needed.

The skin functions as the body's primary defense barrier; when compromised, it can lead to dehydration, infection, shock, or potentially life-threatening conditions. Miniature pigs exhibit skin characteristics and healing processes highly analogous to humans. Mesenchymal stem cells contribute to skin injury repair through a paracrine mechanism involving exosomes.

Acellular cellulose-based biomaterials hold promising potential for treating bladder injuries. However, the compromised cellular state surrounding the wound impedes the complete reconstruction of the bladder. This necessitates the development of a bio-instructive cellulose-based biomaterial that actively controls cell behavior to facilitate effective bladder regeneration.

The bladder is a dynamic organ located in the lower urinary tract, responsible for complex and important physiological activities in the human body, including collecting and storing urine. Severe diseases or bladder injuries often lead to tissue destruction and loss of normal function, requiring surgical intervention and reconstruction. The rapid development of innovative biomaterials has brought revolutionary opportunities for modern urology to overcome the limitations of tissue transplantation.

Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) have shown significant regenerative potential in treating hair loss, wound healing, and tissue repair. This study aims to evaluate the effects of human amniotic fluid (hAF) on hair follicle (HF) regeneration and immune system modulation. The hAF used was pooled, acellular, and gamma-irradiated to standardize its contents and enhance its stability.

Impaired bladder compliance secondary to congenital or acquired bladder dysfunction can lead to irreversible kidney damage. This is managed with surgical augmentation utilizing intestinal tissue, which can cause stone formation, infections, and malignant transformation. Co-seeded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)/CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell (HSPC) scaffolds (PRS) have been successful in regenerating bladder tissue.
