Surgical implants in animal models for male and female infertility: A translational approach
Background
Infertility remains a significant challenge in reproductive medicine, affecting both men and women. Recent advances in animal-based simulations of implant surgery have provided translational platforms for developing innovative reproductive therapies.
Objectives
To review the role and progress of animal-based surgical implant models in enhancing gametogenesis, hormone production, and reproductive organ integrity, and to discuss their translational potential for treating infertility in men and women.
Methods
In this review, animal model studies simulating implant surgeries for reproductive organs were analyzed to assess their potential in treating infertility. The investigation included a comprehensive review of advancements in microsurgical techniques, biological implants, and robotic-assisted procedures that enhance the precision and effectiveness of implant placement. Ethical guidelines governing preclinical development were also considered to ensure the suitability and safety of these approaches for future human application. Additionally, histopathological and genetic evaluations were examined as critical tools for optimizing implant design and function.
Results
The results indicate that a broad spectrum of implants has been developed, ranging from autologous testicular and ovarian tissue grafts to artificial reproductive tissue scaffolds. In male infertility, testicular implants and prostheses designed for vasectomy reversal have demonstrated efficacy in restoring sperm production and addressing azoospermia. For female infertility, ovarian implants have been shown to support follicular growth, while fallopian tube and uterine prostheses facilitate embryo transfer and implantation. Technological advancements, including microsurgical and robotic assistance, have significantly improved the accuracy and success rates of these interventions. Preclinical studies have emphasized strict adherence to ethical standards and have utilized histopathological and genetic analyses to guide the refinement and optimization of these implants for clinical use.
Conclusions
Surgical implants, when combined with assisted reproductive technologies, offer promising avenues for restoring fertility. However, clinical translation faces challenges related to biological compatibility and long-term function. Future research will focus on bioengineered constructs that integrate stem cells and smart biomaterials to further enhance therapeutic outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Translational Research in Anatomy is an international peer-reviewed and open access journal that publishes high-quality original papers. Focusing on translational research, the journal aims to disseminate the knowledge that is gained in the basic science of anatomy and to apply it to the diagnosis and treatment of human pathology in order to improve individual patient well-being. Topics published in Translational Research in Anatomy include anatomy in all of its aspects, especially those that have application to other scientific disciplines including the health sciences: • gross anatomy • neuroanatomy • histology • immunohistochemistry • comparative anatomy • embryology • molecular biology • microscopic anatomy • forensics • imaging/radiology • medical education Priority will be given to studies that clearly articulate their relevance to the broader aspects of anatomy and how they can impact patient care.Strengthening the ties between morphological research and medicine will foster collaboration between anatomists and physicians. Therefore, Translational Research in Anatomy will serve as a platform for communication and understanding between the disciplines of anatomy and medicine and will aid in the dissemination of anatomical research. The journal accepts the following article types: 1. Review articles 2. Original research papers 3. New state-of-the-art methods of research in the field of anatomy including imaging, dissection methods, medical devices and quantitation 4. Education papers (teaching technologies/methods in medical education in anatomy) 5. Commentaries 6. Letters to the Editor 7. Selected conference papers 8. Case Reports
