Morphogenetic Aspects of the Response of Vaginal Tissues to Polypropylene Implants as the Basis of Mesh-Associated Complications

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Morphometric and immunohistochemical examination of the vaginal mucosa before and 12 months after installation of polypropylene implants for the correction of stress urinary incontinence was performed in 20 patients with genital prolapse. The research results confirmed good biocompatibility of polypropylene and the formation of full-fledged connective tissue in the vaginal mucosa, but revealed the presence of a weak lymphocytic reaction to polypropylene 12 months after surgery. According to immunohistochemical study, increased contents of B lymphocytes and plasma cells responsible for the inductive and productive stages of the immune response were revealed in the vaginal mucosa around the implants 12 months after surgery. This reaction in the presences of provoking factors can lead to the development of inflammation and erosion, a type of mesh-associated complications.
