Bioengineered Tissues for Urogenital Repair in Children

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The most common congenital abnormalities involve the genitourinary system. These include hypospadias, in which the urethral opening develops in an improper position, and bladder exstrophy, in which the bladder develops on the outer surface of the abdomen.

“…20 Moreover, the inflammatory reaction elicited after scaffold implantation and associated with the plasticity of BMDC would generate a local microenvironment that favors tissue remodeling and repair. 21 As we hypothesized that cell therapy could be more effective if administered during less severe stages of the disease, we evaluated the effectiveness of treatment in rats sustained by a remnant renal mass two-fold greater than that of the traditional 5/6 model using the 2/3 reduction of renal mass model.…”

“…Repair of hypospadias, a congenital abnormality of the urethra, is associated with complications such as fistula, stenosis, urethrocele, persistence or recurrence of chordee, hair growth, stricture, dehiscence, and diverticula formation [11][12][13][14]. Hence, regenerative medicine has opened new doors for treatment of many urologic problems [15][16][17][18]. Urethral replacement procedures also may involve the use of synthetic biomaterials.…”

“…69 The use of the reconstructed neobladders created with PGA-collagen cell-seeded scaffolds was reflected by an increased compliance, decreased end-filling pressures, increased capacities, and longer dry periods. 70 Despite the unequivocal importance of this seminal clinical study, the implanted neobladders lacked the normal innervation required for micturition and thus provided a neoreservoir, rather than a functional bladder. Nonetheless, this study represented a critical advance for the field and laid the groundwork required for additional clinical studies (see the Tengion Web site, , for more details on the latest clinical trials).…”
