title: [Guidelines for cell therapy to treat urinary incontinence].
abstract: Several clinical trials on cell therapy have recently been conducted in the treatment of urinary incontinence. The cell preparation procedures and the inclusion criteria were different for each study. The feasibility of this technology, however, seems acquired. The indications for treatment and the long-term effects have yet to be specified. Cell therapy for urinary incontinence is only conceivable within the context of a clinical trial at this time. We encourage all investigator-urologists involved in a clinical trial on cell therapy to make themselves known on the website http://clinicaltrials.gov so as to inform the community and encourage the technique's development.
