Vaginal mesh vs native tissue repairs for prolapse: FDA update and recent evidence [PDF]
In 2010, 300,000 surgeries were performed in the U.S. for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and 100,000 of those involved the placement of surgical mesh.

Surgical Mesh as a Scaffold for Tissue Regeneration in the Esophagus [PDF]
<i>Background:</i> Textiles in the form of surgical meshes are widely used in hernia surgery. Their porous structure allows tissue infiltration to incorporate the fabric for complete healing and device stabilization. This study was aimed to reconstitute the esophageal wall and to investigate the functional and histological consequences of a

FlowMesher: An automatic unstructured mesh generation algorithm with applications from finite element analysis to medical simulations [PDF]
In this work, we propose an automatic mesh generation algorithm, FlowMesher, which can be used to generate unstructured meshes for mesh domains in any shape with minimum (or even no) user intervention. The approach can generate high-quality simplex meshes directly from scanned images in OBJ format in 2D and 3D or just from a line drawing in 2-D.

A semi-automatic computer-aided method for surgical template design [PDF]
This paper presents a generalized integrated framework of semi-automatic surgical template design. Several algorithms were implemented including the mesh segmentation, offset surface generation, collision detection, ruled surface generation, etc., and a special software named TemDesigner was developed.
