Regenerative and engineered options for urethroplasty

Nature Reviews Urology, Published online: 06 June 2019; doi:10.1038/s41585-019-0198-yTissue engineering using different cell types and tissue scaffolds offers a promising alternative to substitution urethroplasty, which can be associated with complications, restenosis and poor quality of life. In this Review, the authors describe advances in tissue engineering for urethral replacement and consider the future of the field.
