This paper resumes the classification of biological materials and common biological patch types at present. As a case study of porcine small intestinal submucosa(SIS), introduces the composition of biological patches and their role in the tissue repair process. By analyzing the mechanical strength of various biological patches, it is concluded that the SIS with four layers is current application more biological patch, it not only with the enough mechanical strength to support the early repair of the pelvic floor, but also of the characteristics of the vaginal wall flexibility and full of elasticity. Based on the mechanical properties and biodegradable properties of biological patches, not all pelvic floor reconstruction can be repaired by biological patch, such as fornix sacral fixation and severe bulging bladder, where synthetic mesh may provide a better effect of anatomy. The success rate of biological patch is equivalent to synthetic mesh in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. However, for sexually active patients, especially young women, to restore the normal anatomy of vaginal wall and retain its soft and full of elasticity, biological patch has a unique advantage. As a new material, biological patch application in pelvic floor reconstruction is still in the stage of exploration. But with the younger of pelvic organ prolapse patients, biological patch still has a potential development space.
