Many injectable biomaterials have been produced as bulking agents for compression of urethral sphincter or ureteral orifice for treating adult stress incontinence or vesico-ureteral reflux in pediatrics. The agents being developed include glutaraldehyde crosslinked collagen, dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer, pyrolytic carbon-coated zirconium oxide beads, polydimethyl-siloxane microparticles, polytetrafluoroethylene paste, autologous fats, autologous chondrocytes, and others. Though less invasive nature of these agents has gained their popularity as a quick solution of the disease symptoms, most of such treatments fail to produce good long-term efficacy. The failure is likely caused by the rapid degradation of material implants and the lack of tissue regeneration/integration properties. We thus believe that a good injectable biomaterial for incontinence should possess the following two properties: (1) to resist degradation and to reside in the implantation sites for a long period of time or (2) to enhance tissue regeneration and to establish permanent periurethral or subureteric tissue. Here we report some recent results for supporting this hypothesis.
