Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Animal models of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can simulate the anatomical structure and pathological state of pelvic floor in female patients with SUI. Animal models are important for studies on the pathogenesis and therapeutic effect of SUI.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the SUI modeling methods and research ideas, reveal the status and progress of establishing an animal model of SUI, and compare the advantages and disadvantages of various modeling methods, thereby providing the basis for ideal animal model construction and providing favorable reference for clinical research.
METHODS: Databases of CNKI and PubMed were retrieved using computer with the search time of January 2000 to August 2017. The keywords were “stress urinary incontinence and animal model” in English and Chinese, respectively. The articles addressing animal models rather than mechanism were excluded. Pathogenesis, establishment and pathological characteristics of animal models of SUI were summarized.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 128 articles were retrieved, the repetitive and obsolete articles were excluded, and then 37 eligible articles were included. The animal models of SUI mainly relay on the mechanical damage of the pelvic floor support organization. All kinds of models can only focus on some pathological causes of a disease, or pathological changes at a certain stage. Moreover, the maintenance time, advantages and disadvantages are different. So researchers must choose appropriate animal models according to their own requirements.
