Introduction:
Stem cell therapies have been proposed in preclinical trials as new treatment options in abdominal wall repair.
Materials And Methods:
This work lists sources of feasible cell lines and the current status of literature and provides a cautious outlook into future developments. Special attention was paid to translational issues and practicabilty in a complex field.
Conclusion:
Cell-based therapies will play a role in the clinical setting in the future. Regulatory and ethical issues need to be addressed as well as the proof of cost-effectiveness.
