<unk>  encompasses various forms of treatment for<unk>  anomalies. The goal of these treatments is to restore form and function to male and female<unk> ia by taking advantage of innate responses in the body. In order to do this, doctors have experimented with stem cells and extracellular matrix to provide a framework for regenerating missing structures. More research is needed to successfully move the science from laboratory trials to routine procedures. Patients who can benefit most from this field are those who have congenital defects, cancer, injuries that have excised parts of their<unk> ia (most notably soldiers in war), and men looking to reverse circumcision and women wishing to reverse forms of female<unk>  mutilation. As is the case in most scientific pursuits, these accomplishments might be applied to other forms of regeneration and vice versa as scientists continue to study tissue engineering.
