Scientific Advances in Reconstructive Urology and Tissue Engineering

Scientific Advances in Reconstructive Urology and Tissue Engineering is a comprehensive overview of reconstructive urology that spans male and female, pediatric, neuro-urology and trauma. Traditionally this field has been focused solely on surgical principles with little attention to basic and translational research. However, recent advances in acellular matrices, scaffolds, stem cells and tissue engineering have changed this focus. This publication is the perfect bridge and definitive tome of the advances that will move the translational and basic science of reconstructive urology forward and allow the reader to implement the findings in clinical practice. Through the use of both current case studies and future implications the content bridges the gap from bench to bedside making it the perfect reference for translational benign urology researchers who wish to move the filed of reconstructive surgery forward as well as reconstructive urologists that wish to implement the latest research for better outcomes for their patients. Provides real-world application of current research to help readers get rapidly up to speed on which research results are appropriate for immediate implementation Presents the underlying mechanism of urologic disease processes pertinent to reconstructive urology for comprehensive understanding within the field Each chapter provides independent guidance to manage specific clinical conditions but presents approaches that are applicable to all conditions
