Abstract:
Aim of this paper is to provide a brief introduction on the biomaterials used in urology, discussing issues of biocompatibility and biomaterials available for use. Information will moreover be provided on basic elements of Tissue engineering and Regenerative medicine, rapidly advancing technologies that could finally shift in the next future from the laboratory to clinical practice, with special interest to possible urological applications.
