摘要
Those who have urethral injury, long-distance urethral stricture, hypospadias, or epispadias need tissue for urethral repair. Tissue engineering is one of the solutions for urethroplasty. Three components essential for tissue engineering are cells, scaffolds, and bioactive factors. Several animal studies of tissueengineered urethras have been conducted and progressed to human clinical trials by 1999. These studies have shown that the maximum distance for normal tissue regeneration in tubularized urethral replacement with unseeded matrices is 0.5 cm. Although autologous tissue-engineered tabularized urethras have been successful in clinical trials, this method could be an alternative treatment for urethral reconstruction.
