Abstract (original English)
Stem and progenitor cells being introduced into the body have the ability to stimulate regeneration of tissues and organs by differentiating into specialized cells. Stem cell therapy is used in urology to treat various disorders, including erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, Peyronies disease, and male infertility. This review presents the results of international preclinical and clinical research on stem cell based medications for treating the above diseases. The most promising appears to be the use of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
