Abstract

This review is dedicated to the use of synthetic materials in urogynecology. Presents historical data, as well as information about the chemical structure and the production of polymers, classification and their use in medicine and in particular in urogynecology at the present time. Shows the leading role of polypropylene in the treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
