Up to 75% of patients who receive pelvic radiation treatment experience vaginal stenosis, a condition that can significantly impact their quality of life but is not well understood. To address this, Cosgriff-Hernandez and her team are developing a patient-forward vaginal stent designed to treat this condition by maintaining the vaginal opening.
The project will also generate advanced models and testing methods to improve gynecological device design and uncover key insights into how to prevent and reverse the effects of vaginal stenosis. Learn more.
