Urinary bladder reconstruction in patients.
| Scaffold Type | Unseeded/Seeded | Patients’ Age | Results | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic mold | Unseeded | 38–64 years | No tissue regeneration. Contracted bladder. | [123] |
| Plastic mold | Unseeded | 65 years | Complete urothelium formation, no muscle formation. | [124] |
| Plastic mold | Unseeded | Not reported | Complete urothelium formation, no muscle formation. | [125] |
| Gelatin sponge | Unseeded | Not reported | Decrease in bladder capacity, urinary incontinence, vesicoureteral reflux. | [127] |
| Gelatin sponge + nobecutane | Unseeded | 15–46 years | Hydroureteronephrosis urinary leakage. | [128] |
| Japanese paper + nobecutane | Unseeded | 19–52 years | Regeneration of urothelium and muscle. Normal bladder capacity and micturition in patients with tuberculous contracted bladders and not effective in patients with interstitial cystitis. | [129] |
| Lyophilized dura | Unseeded | 9–51 years | Complete regeneration of urothelium, but week smooth muscle. No complications. | [133] |
| Bovine pericardium | Unseeded | 67 years | No complications. | [132] |
| SIS | Unseeded | 8–17 years | Complete urothelium regeneration and partial smooth muscle regeneration. No complications. | [131] |
| Decellularized bladder submucosa and composite scaffold made of collagen and PGA | Seeded with UCs and SMCs and wrapped in omentum | 4–19 years | Urothelium and smooth muscle regeneration. Decrease in leaking point pressure and increasing of volume and compliance. No calculi. | [34] |
| PGA/PLA | Seeded with UCs and SMCs | 3–16 years | No improvement in bladder capacity. Bladder rupture occurred. | [122] |
