Scientists grow custom bladder patch to save kidneys
NCT ID NCT05054790
Summary
This study is testing a new surgical treatment for people with a severe, shrunken bladder that doesn't respond to medication. Doctors will take a small sample of a patient's own bladder cells, grow them in a lab for 5-7 weeks to create a 'neo-bladder' patch, and then surgically attach this patch to enlarge the bladder. The main goal is to see if this procedure safely improves the bladder's ability to hold urine properly and protects the kidneys from long-term damage.
