Muscle flap reconstruction enables urethral epithelium regeneration, avoiding the need for traditional lining grafts. This innovative approach successfully repaired a large urethral defect, promoting natural healing.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Regenerative Medicine
- Tissue Engineering
Background:
- Traditional urethral reconstruction methods often use cutaneous grafts, neglecting the regenerative potential of urethral epithelium.
- Existing techniques have limitations in fully restoring urethral function and structure.
