New Zealand white rabbit: a novel model for prolapse mesh implantation via a lumbar colpopexy
2019
Introduction and hypothesis
New Zealand white rabbits are an inexpensive large-animal model. This study explored the rabbit as a model for mesh-augmented colpopexy using the intra-abdominal vagina. We hypothesized that polypropylene mesh would negatively impact rabbit vaginal smooth muscle (VSM) morphology and contractile function, similar to the nonhuman primate (NHP)—the established model for prolapse mesh evaluation.
