March 30, 2026Open Access

Correction: A hybrid combination of in vitro cultured buccal mucosal cells using two different methodologies, complementing each other in successfully repairing a stricture-inflicted human male urethral epithelium

Key Points

To correct the methodology regarding the use of buccal mucosal cells for repairing urethral strictures.
Correction of previously published methodology regarding cell transplant protocols.
Review of graphical content to ensure accurate depiction of surgical steps.
Uniformity in reporting methodologies used for urethral repair.
Clarification of the sequence of urethrotomy and cell transplant is provided in the corrected figures.
The accurate representation of methodology enhances understanding of the repair process.

Abstract

Correction on: Horiguchi A, Kushibiki T, Mayumi Y, Shinchi M, Ojima K, Hirano Y, Katoh S, Iwasaki M, Surya Prakash V, Ichiyama K, Senthilkumar R, Preethy S and Abraham SJK (2026) A hybrid combination of in vitro cultured buccal mucosal cells using two different methodologies, complementing each other in successfully repairing a stricture-inflicted human male urethral epithelium. Front. Urol. 5:1720445. doi: 10.3389/fruro.2025.1720445 Wrong content There was a mistake in figure Graphical Abstract as published. The error was "Urethrotomy follows cell transplant". The corrected form is "Urethrotomy followed by cell transplant". The corrected figure Graphical Abstract appears below.
