Gender-Specific Applications of Bovine Pericardial Tissue in Reconstructive Urology
Bovine pericardial tissue obtained from the bovine heart originates from cardiovascular surgery and has expanded into numerous urological reconstruction procedures. Due to its durability, biocompatibility and easy tissue integration properties this xenograft material serves as an ideal solution for addressing complex anatomy in gender-specific urological procedures. Though well-known through its application in the bovine pericardial tissue patch for cardiothoracic surgery , its reconstructive urologic potential is now being explored and applied more and more. Understanding the Material In reconstructive urology, the requirements placed on graft material are significant. The tissue has to endure ongoing exposure to urine, have infection resistance, and incorporate well into host tissue. Bovine pericardial tissue qualifies due to its collagenous matrix and structural strength. The Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch for Cardiothoracic Surgery initially required low compliance t...
