Bladder lesions repaired with acellular and seeded SIS. A) Photomicrograph of the central region of the bladder lesion repaired with the acellular SIS (CG). Note the absence of typical histological architecture and presence of disorganized muscle fibers colored in red, deposed in bundles of several gauges. (Masson, 4x). B) Photomicrograph of the central region of the cystoplasty repaired with the SIS seeded with HSMC (GT). Note the numerous muscle fascicle colored in red (Masson, 12,5x). C) Photomicrograph of the transition fragment between the acellular SIS and the original bladder (CG). Note the randomly arranged muscle fibers of different gauges (Masson, 2x). D) Photomicrograph of the fragment of the transition between the SIS seeded with HSMC and the original bladder (TG). Note the typical disposition of the outer longitudinal (E), medial circular (M), inner longitudinal (I) layers of the muscular tunic (Masson, 2x).
