Pathologies
We can use adipose derived adult stem cells to improve the healing and modulate the inflammation. Therefore, we are using them for any wound that is not healing properly.
We are colorectal surgeons. An enteric or perianal fistula is a perfect example of a tissue which is not healing satisfactorily.
We use stem cells to treat perianal, rectovaginal or enteric fistula and also to improve the healing of any chronic wound.
When treating a perianal fistula, the most difficult scenario is the inflammatory bowel disease, we are applying stem cells therapy through a minimal invasive approach to treat and cure this type of disease.
The stem cell therapy is also indicated and successful in cryptoglandular perianal fistula which is the one not related to Crohn´s disease.
Surgery
When we are going to treat a perianal fistula first of all we need to rule out any abscesses in the area. If an abscess is present will plan an incision and drainage procedure 2 weeks before the stem cells are implanted. The day of surgery, we take the patient to the operation room. We identify the internal hole and the fistula tracts. We perform a deep curettage of the area and we suture the internal orifice. The next step is the injection of the stem cells in the tissue. Half of the doses is distributed in the internal hole and the rest of the cells is injected in the tissue surrounding the fistula tracts.
Results
Perianal and rectovaginal suppose an important impairment of the quality of life in these patients. To reach the fistula healing is a dramatic change in their life.
We have treated with stem cell therapy more than 500 patients over the last 20 years.
Healing rate of 70% in both cryptoglandular or Crohn´s related perianal fistulas.
Research
Research Led – We bring you stem cells therapy from our lab after two decades of continuous basic and clinic research, which we will tirelessly continue for the good of our patients.
Data Driven – Our research results gave us the confidence to spread this treatment throughout the globe trough national and international collaborations. Stem cell
therapy is nowadays a real living treatment available for you.Results Orientated – Our investigations allowed us to understand cell culture and healing mechanisms; they gave us the ability of mastering appropriate cell handling and careful surgical application inside the human body, essential for them to survive and develop all their healing potential. We probed their safety and tested their ability to heal extremely rebel wounds in humans, as the fistulas in the inflammatory bowel disease, fulfilling all the scientific standards and the law requirements every new medication must accomplish.
