TL;DR
The bladder is exposed to a variety of possible injuries from the time the fetus develops, which may lead to bladder damage or loss, requiring eventual reconstruction.
Abstract
The bladder is exposed to a variety of possible injuries from the time the fetus develops. Aside from congenital abnormalities, individuals may also suffer from other disorders such as cancer, trauma, infection, inflammation, iatrogenic injuries or other conditions which may lead to bladder damage or loss, requiring eventual reconstruction.

It is shown that heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), an activating HER1 ligand, is an autocrine regulator of HUC growth and suggests a physiologic role for HB- EGF in the regulation of urothelial proliferation and regeneration subsequent to mucosal injury.
