A Foreseeable Tissue Engineering Approach to Overcome the Neurogenic Bladder-Related Detrusor/Urethral Rhabdosphincter Dyssynergia

摘要

I have read, with high interest, the Jednak’s review article “The evolution of bladder augmentation: from creating reservoir to reconstituting an organ” (1), where the literature regarding this subject has been carefully taken into consideration. Particularly, about the tissue engineering-based augmentation cystoplasty, the attention has been focused on the results reached by Atala and his group in patients suffering from end-stage myelomeningocele-induced poorly compliant/high pressure bladder (2).
