July 2025 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” The treatment of hypospadias is challenging due to the complexity of the condition and the lack of standardized surgical methods. Despite advancements in tissue engineering and cell therapies, translating laboratory findings into clinical practice is inadequate, primarily due to the absence of standardization and short clinical trial follow-ups. Tissue engineering and cell therapies, including the use of various stem cells, show promise in urethral reconstruction, but the transition from in vitro results to clinical applications is unsatisfactory. The document emphasizes the importance of selecting the right cell type, scaffold material, and injection method for successful tissue engineering. While biological scaffolds like small intestine submucosa show potential, synthetic scaffolds need further optimization. Overall, promising developments exist, but further research and standardization are needed for effective clinical applications.
