Reconstruction Strategies of the Ureter and Urinary Diversion Using Tissue Engineering Approaches.

Tissue engineering. Part B, Reviews, 2019
IMPACT STATEMENT Tissue Engineering (TE) approaches are needed to advance the field of reconstructive urology. We indicate that regeneration of ureteral tissue and the formation of a urinary diversion using TE approaches are possible, although it is ...

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to

Translation, Linguistic Validation, and Cultural Adaptation of the Bladder Cancer Index (BCI) Questionnaire Into the Persian (Farsi) Language and Comparing it With WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire: An Observational Study

Journal of Family and Reproductive Health, 2023
Objective: Whether ileal conduit diversion (ICD) or orthotopic neobladder (ONB) urinary diversion provides better quality of life (QoL) is still under debate. The Bladder Cancer Index (BCI) is a specific tool for bladder cancer (BCa) patients, providing

Biofabrication of a Filtration Barrier by Integrating Electrospun Membranes and Flow in a Glomerular Co‐Culture

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An ex vivo glomerular filtration barrier is engineered using electrospun, biomimetic membranes seeded with human glomerular cells. The model supports fenestrated endothelium and podocyte foot processes under flow, mimics size‐selective filtration, and enables disease modeling with hiPSC‐derived podocytes, offering a powerful platform for studying ...

Evaluation of silk fibroin-based urinary conduits in a porcine model of urinary diversion

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Background: The primary strategy for urinary diversion in radical cystectomy patients involves incorporation of autologous gastrointestinal conduits into the urinary tract which leads to deleterious consequences including chronic infections and metabolic

Reoperative pouch surgery for suspected Crohn's‐related complications aided by biologic coverage: Early experience from an inflammatory bowel disease center

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This paper demonstrates that revisional/redo ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery with concurrent biologic therapy provides a viable, stoma‐free alternative for patients with Crohn's disease‐like complications, showing a high functioning pouch rate and expanding options for managing pouch failure.

Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Open, Laparoscopic, and Robot‐Assisted Surgery for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robot‐assisted rectal resection demonstrated superior short and long‐term outcomes compared to laparoscopic and open approaches. ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted surgery has short‐term benefits in rectal cancer surgery; however, its long‐term advantages remain unclear. This study compared short‐ and long‐term outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robot‐
