Microscopic findings of the explanted tissues surrounding the materials (H-E staining): (a) PGA mesh at 2 weeks (A1) and 8 weeks (A2). (b) Na-alg at 2 weeks (B1) and 8 weeks (B2). (c) Ca-alg at 2 weeks (C1) and 8 weeks (C2). Black arrows (ā) show PGA fibers. Blue arrows show macrophages ingesting alginate. Red arrows show alginate surrounded by fibroblasts and collagen fibers.
