Abstract

Tissue engineering is an important field in female pelvic floor reconstructive surgery. The tissue engineering scaffold materials which can be used in female pelvic floor reconstructive surgery include natural acellular matrix material, natural polymers material, synthetic biodegradable polymers material and nanocomposites. Each scaffold material has its pros and cons, and nanocomposites will be one of the most promising materials. This review summarizes the research progress of scaffold materials available for pelvic floor reconstructive surgery.
