Acellular Matrix of Swim Bladder for Augmentation Cystoplasty in Rabbits

Augmentation cystoplasty was conducted in rabbits to compare the suitability of fresh, processed swim bladders and auto grafts for its healing based on mcro ad microscopic changes. Grossly, grafted site showed various forms of adhesions in all the animals and the graft showed intactness as time progresses. Histologically all the sections showed inflammatory cells at the host graft interface at the early phase of observation and as time progresses marked fibroblastic activity formation of thin fibrous tissue and neocapillaries are the findings in acellular graft group.
