Preservation of nerve function in urological surgery is most important while operating on delicate tissues. It is now a common practice to use biologically derived materials to aid in the preservation of nerves during urological surgery. One such advancement is using a Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch for Urology , which has been found to contribute greatly to improving nerve preservation. This article discusses the use of bovine pericardial tissue patches to enhance the success of surgery through the preservation of nerves in urologic and congenital surgery.   How Do Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patches Improve Nerve Preservation?   Less Inflammation and Biocompatibility   The bovine pericardial tissue is biocompatible; hence it can easily be integrated into human tissues. This minimizes the chances of chronic inflammation and immune rejection, which are factors that are essential in maintaining nerve function. By mitigating these chances, the tissue patches give a g...

  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...
