Despite the existence of numerous operational methods and materials, the effectiveness of transvaginal operation is still insufficient. Native tissue operations are often not durable enough, while operations with synthetic materials have numerous side effects, such as infections, hematomas, vaginal erosion, or dyspareunia. Hence, the search continues for a different material with a better efficacy and safety profile than those previously mentioned. It seems that ADM can meet these requirements and be a useful material for urogynaecological surgery. Key words related to the usage of ADM in gynaecological reconstructive surgery were used to search relevant databases (NCBI MedLine, Clinical Key, Clinicaltrials.gov). This manuscript is based on 43 literature sources, 28 (65.11%) of which were released after 2016. Older sources are cited for the purpose of presenting basic science, or other important issues related to the manuscript. ADM seems to be an ideal material for urogynaecological and reconstructive surgery. It has high durability, and thus high effectiveness. Moreover, it does not have the side effects typical for synthetic materials. There are no reports of material rejection, erosion or dyspareunia directly related to the presence of the mesh. Due to the difficulties in obtaining ADM and the need to perform additional tests, this material is not common in routine clinical practice. Therefore, the number of cases and the size of the research groups are insufficient to clearly define the potential of mesh from biological tissue. However, the results are so promising that it is worth considering a wider introduction to the use of this material. Our hope is that increasing clinicians\u2019 awareness of this topic will lead to more studies comparing methods using native tissues or synthetic materials and those using ADM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11144030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,12]],"date-time":"2022-07-12T20:52:41Z","timestamp":1657659161000},"page":"4030","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Application of Acellular Dermal Matrix in Gynaecology\u2014A Current Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6705-9072","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaja","family":"Skowronek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecological Oncology, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Markiefki 87, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wojciech","family":"\u0141abu\u015b","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dr. Stanislaw Sakiel Centre for Burn Treatment in Siemianowice Slaskie, Jana Pawla II 2, 41-100 Siemianowice Slaskie, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5141-1016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Stojko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecological Oncology, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Markiefki 87, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diana","family":"Kitala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dr. Stanislaw Sakiel Centre for Burn Treatment in Siemianowice Slaskie, Jana Pawla II 2, 41-100 Siemianowice Slaskie, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1668-1694","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Sad\u0142ocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecological Oncology, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Markiefki 87, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1249-5840","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Drosdzol-Cop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecological Oncology, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Markiefki 87, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Barcz, E.
