【Abstract】 Objective To review the progress and cl inical appl ication of cellular therapy for stress urinary
incontinence (SUI). Methods The l iterature about cellular therapy of SUI was extensively reviewed. Results Because
of having no or poor regeneration capacity, the cl inical application of chondrocytes and myoblasts were l imited. Based on the rapid progress in stem cell biology, an increasing number of animal experiments and cl inical trials about cellular therapy of SUI have been reported with encouraging results. All these show that cellular therapy has great potential in cl inical application. Stem cells are considered as ideal seeded-cells for treatment of SUI. Conclusion Cellular therapy, especially stem cells, provides a novel approach for treatment of SUI, but the mechanism needs further study.
