Biomatrices in Urethral Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urethral reconstruction is still a big challenge in urology. Traditionally, the penile skin or buccal mucosa was used as graft for replacement. However, the morbidity of the donor site was reported previously. Furthermore, there is a lack of an adequate autologous donor graft in many cases. The tissue engineered urethra may provide an alternative to the reconstruction. Herein, we reviewed the biomatrices for urethral substitution either in animal model or in clinical cases.

Urethral reconstruction of critical defects in rabbits using molecularly defined tubular type I collagen biomatrices: key issues in growth factor addition.
Tubular type I collagen biomatrices with and without growth factors (GFs) were constructed and evaluated in a rabbit model for critical urethral defects. Porous tubular biomatrices with an inner diameter of 3 mm were prepared using highly purified collagen fibrils and were crosslinked with or without heparin. Heparinized biomatrices were supplemented with the heparin-binding GFs vascular endot...
متن کاملPrimary urethral reconstruction: the cost minimized approach to the bulbous urethral stricture.
PURPOSE Treatment for urethral stricture disease often requires a choice between readily available direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) and highly efficacious but more technically complex open urethral reconstruction. Using the short segment bulbous urethral stricture as a model, we determined which strategy is less costly. MATERIALS AND METHODS The costs of DVIU and open urethral recons...

Background: Vesicourethral anastomotic stricture (VUAS) is a relatively common complication after Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy (RRP). We reported our experience in treatment of VUAS especially with transurethral resection of fibrosis. Methods: In a multicentric retrospective cross-sectional study conducted between March 2006 and August 2011, 683 (RRPs) performed by two uro-oncolo...
متن کاملPost-traumatic female urethral reconstruction.
Post-traumatic urethral damage resulting in urethrovaginal fistulas or strictures, though rare, should be suspected in patients who have unexpected urinary incontinence or lower urinary tract symptoms after pelvic surgery, pelvic fracture, a long-term indwelling urethral catheter, or pelvic radiation. Careful physical examination and cystourethroscopy are critical to diagnose and assess the ext...
متن کاملUse of pedicle flap from the labia minora for the repair of female urethral strictures.
INTRODUCTION We present the method of pedicle labial urethroplasty for urethral reconstruction in female patients treated for urethral strictures. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed urethral reconstruction using a pedicle labial flap in 2 female patients (23 and 70 years old) for urethral stricture (posttraumatic and postinflammatory origin). We used as a patch a pedicle skin flap obtained fro...
