Benchtop tests and FEM simulation results for monitoring of a human bladder model at three time points after a partial cystectomy (A) Schematic illustration of the recovery process with a scaffold implanted after a partial cystectomy. (B) Strain-stress curves of model materials for a normal bladder, a regenerating bladder on a scaffold, and a scaffold. (C–E) Strain distributions calculated from FEM simulations for three models after partial cystectomy and scaffold implantation. (F–K) Benchtop setups and strain changes for three models after partial cystectomy and scaffold implantation.
