Abstract

Objective This cadaver study was performed in order to evaluate the feasibility and the anatomical landmarks of a Self-Retaining device, a new unanchored mesh, for the treatment of anterior and apical vaginal prolapse. Study design The Self-retaining device was implanted transvaginally in two cadavers. One cadaver underwent a detailed trans-abdominal dissection of the pelvis and the other cadaver, frozen after the implant placement, underwent a cross section dissection of the pelvis. Results The location of the device was confirmed to be in appropriate anatomical position and in safe distance from any major neurovascular structures in the pelvis. Conclusion The self-retaining implant, in its planned location, can be a safe procedure with respect to neighboring neurovascular and muscular pelvic structures. Brief summery: A cadaver study of anchorless implant for safety evaluation of the distance from vital structures. The implant found anatomically safe for use.
