PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Urethrotomy remains the first-line therapy in the treatment of a urethral stricture despite data showing no real chance of a cure after repeated urethrotomies. An anastomotic or an augmentation urethroplasty using oral mucosa can be offered to patients following failed urethrotomy. The potential for a tissue engineered solution as an alternative to native tissue has been explored in recent years and is reviewed in this article.
RECENT FINDINGS: More than 80 preclinical studies have investigated a tissue-engineered approach for urethral reconstruction mostly using decellularized natural scaffolds derived from natural extracellular matrix with or without cell seeding. The animal models used in preclinical testing are not representative of disease processes seen with strictures in man. The available clinical studies are based on small noncontrolled series.
SUMMARY: There is a potential role for tissue engineering to provide a material for substitution urethroplasty and work has demonstrated this. Further work will require a rigorous basic science programme and adequate evaluation of the material prior to its introduction into clinical practice. The research with tissue engineering applied to the urethra has not yet been resulted in a widely available material for clinical use that approaches the efficacy seen with the use of autologous grafts.
