Recent advances in the treatment of urethral strictures are associated with regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Urethral reconstruction in some cases is a difficult task for urologists due to the insufficient amount of autologous tissue and relapses, which encourages clinicians to search for alternatives. The purpose of this work is to review the latest achievements in the use of regenerative technologies, biomaterials and cell therapy in urethroplasty.

From the observation day 2 the rabbits were fed with indol-3-carbinol and epigallocatexin-3-gallate in addition to standard diet. Microcirculation was assessed with a laser analyzer of capillary circulation LAKK-01 which detected earlier recovery of microcirculation in the group of the animals fed with indol-3-carbinol and epigallocatexin-3-gallate.
