Regenerative Medicine in Urology

Abstract

There has been always challenge regarding repair and reconstruction of damaged tissues and organs and this issue causes health care systems face so many troubles. Traditionally, for handling this problem, surgeons had limited options which consist of resection of the lesions and repair the site of defect with autologous tissue, or allografts. Using autologous tissue as tissue for transplantation has some obstacles that can limit wide-spread use of that, for example, appropriate of site of donor and additional damage to donor site and allogenic transplantation has the rejection chance. Due to these reasons, scientists put their force on to overcome these difficulties by regenerating tissues and organs within new method and technology. Regenerative medicine (RM) is an emerging field that focuses on how to regenerate tissues and organs to substitute tissues and organs that were damaged in order to maintain their routine and normal function.
