A critical review of the recent biomaterial innovations for pelvic organ prolapse treatment: materials and design
• Biomaterials strategies for pelvic organ prolapse are critically reviewed. • Structure–property relationships govern mechanics and tissue integration. • Bioactive designs enhance regeneration while reducing inflammation. • Translational challenges include biomechanics, longevity, and scalability. • Emerging tools enable patient-specific and durable prolapse therapies.
