Journal ArticleDOI
Uniaxial biomechanical properties of seven different vaginally implanted meshes for pelvic organ prolapse.
TL;DR: Current vaginal meshes demonstrate marked variation in biomechanical characteristics which may impact the in vivo behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demographic and clinical predictors of treatment failure one year after midurethral sling surgery
Holly E. Richter,Heather J. Litman,Emily S. Lukacz,Larry Sirls,Leslie Rickey,Peggy Norton,Gary E. Lemack,Stephen R. Kraus,Pamela Moalli,Mary P. FitzGerald,Kimberly J. Dandreo,Liyuan Huang,John W. Kusek +12 more
TL;DR: Twelve months after surgery, risk factors for overall and objective treatment failure were similar in women undergoing retropubic and transobturator sling procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile Properties of Commonly Used Prolapse Meshes
TL;DR: Relative to Gynecare™, the newer generation of prolapse meshes were significantly less stiff, with irreversible deformation at significantly lower loads.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rat model to study the structural properties of the vagina and its supportive tissues.
Pamela Moalli,Nancy S. Howden,Jerry L. Lowder,Jennifer Navarro,Kristen M. Debes,Steven D. Abramowitch,Savio L. C. Woo +6 more
TL;DR: A mechanical testing protocol in which the structural properties of the vagina-supportive tissue complex can be measured is developed, which will be a powerful tool for testing the impact of life events on vaginal support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical adaptations of the rat vagina and supportive tissues in pregnancy to accommodate delivery.
Jerry L. Lowder,Kristen M. Debes,Daniel K. Moon,Nancy S. Howden,Steven D. Abramowitch,Pamela Moalli +5 more
TL;DR: In the rat, the biomechanical characteristics affording distensibility of the vagina and supportive tissues increased in pregnancy and even further at delivery, likely that these represent maternal tissue adaptations that facilitate delivery of the fetus(es).
