Study on tissue-engineered esophagus / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Many esophageal diseases need esophageal replacement. Replacement with autograft leads to great damage and complications. The existing artificial esophagus, however, cannot match the demands of esophageal replacement. The study of tissue-engineered esophagus is the hope to solve these problems. This article reviews the progression of tissue-engineered esophagus.
