Long‐term cryopreservation of pyramidalis muscle specimens as a source of striated muscle stem cells for treatment of post‐prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence

Abstract

Long-term cryopreserved PM specimens can be used to culture muscle stem cells. Therefore, this method may be utilized for SUI treatment when necessary. Moreover, complete remove of the prostate gland without fear of injury to the urethral sphincter may be possible in patients with apical cancer or T3 prostate cancer.
