| Summary: | Introduction. Up to 50.0% of postpartum women experience stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). One of the most common and pathogenetically substantiated methods for surgical correction of severe SIU and POP is prosthetic reconstruction of the pelvic floor, involves the use of monofilament polypropylene surgical meshes through vaginal or laparoscopic access.. However, this way is associated with specific problems, i.e., primarily mucosal erosions, and pelvic pain. This has served as a trigger for the development of new materials that reduce the likelihood of such side effects.Objective. To develop the new-generation synthetic implants for surgical correction of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.Materials and methods. The main development stages: 1. design of an experimental sample of a synthetic implant (evaluation of basic, physical and mechanical properties). 2. test of an experimental sample obtained in vitro.Results. A bioresorbable polypropylene ligature delivery system was developed and manufactured in two variants: for the POP correction (mesh tape with a width of 13 – 15 mm) and for the SUI correction (mesh tape with a width of 10 – 11 mm).Conclusion. Based on the results of the in vitro tests, we can conclude that the synthetic implants developed are able to provide physiological longitudinal (axial) support of the necessary pelvic floor sections and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Further in vivo studies are required to assess the response of living tissue to the implantation of this type of synthetic implants.
