[Cultured human urothelium. Possible application in reconstructive surgery of the urinary tract].
The authors focus on and analyse a number of problems linked to urinary tract reconstruction, with special reference to urethral surgery in patients suffering from hypospadias. After having examined a number of approaches used over this period, the authors underline the possible new applications and future lines of research offered by cell culture techniques in the fields of urology and plastic surgery.
