- Abstract
The I in-vivo i behavior of pelvic floor implants and the foreign-body response they induce show great interpatient variability, depending on both patient and implant characteristics. A recent study demonstrated that ultra-high-frequency ultrasound (UHFU) offers improved quality of vaginal imaging compared to conventional ultrasound, allowing clear visualization of the vaginal walls2. We performed two-dimensional cross-sectional imaging and three-dimensional (3D) brightness (B)-mode imaging, and measured pore size and cross-sectional fiber surface area of the different materials.
