Abstract:
Urethral reconstruction is required in congenital abnormalities such as hypospadia and urethral stricture caused by trauma or infection. The development of tissue engineering has brought new hope to the field of urethral reconstruction. Much progress has been made in the experimental and clinical research of using tissue engineering for urethral reconstruction as well as the research of the scaffold materials. This review focuses on the recent progress in this field.
