This cadaveric study focuses on identifying areas of high nerve density in the bladder and corresponding vaginal wall (AVW) to support RF use in a minimally invasive fashion throughout the anterior vaginal wall.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      AVW samples were obtained from two cadaveric specimens (T1 &amp; T2). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) staining was employed to assess anatomical structures, while S100 immunohistochemistry was used to visualize nerve distribution. Nerve size and density across the anterior and posterior bladder walls, along with the attached anterior vaginal wall were quantified using image analysis software.
