Ureter reconstruction using a biotube in a canine model: A pilot study
Biotubes demonstrate potential as temporary ureteral substitutes; however, improvements in epithelialization and muscle tissue migration are necessary for successful long-term ureteral regeneration. Further experimental studies are required to evaluate their clinical utility as scaffold materials for ureteral reconstruction.
