Stem Cell Treatment Procedure

• Stem cell treatment procedure

How and where is treatment performed?

Our representative will accompany you to the specialist physician at the hospital for a comprehensive consultation, after which you may undergo radiology and/or pathology tests if necessary. Once the test results are available, the specialist will discuss your treatment options in detail. We invite you to ask any questions you may have; you can rest assured not only of your treatment, but also of your surgeon and hospital. All treatments will be performed under the medical supervision of highly skilled healthcare professionals, such as neurologists, anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, orthopedists, radiologists, and pediatricians. Our hospitals are characterized by the highest quality standards, and a dedicated team of highly skilled doctors, patient counselors, and nurses takes care of our patients. We also provide other services to our overseas patients, such as travel assistance, hotel reservations, transportation, visa support, and more.

The entire medical process at SCCI involves 4 steps:

• Collection of umbilical cord tissue and maternal blood
• Quality Control Testing (Infectious Disease Screening + Sterility Testing)
• Mesenchymal Stem Cell Processing – Final Product P2
• Stem cell transplantation
• Aftercare

Stem cell therapy is performed in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices, along with the latest technologies and best available medical standards. The risks associated with adult stem cell therapy are minimal. The treatment relies on the patient’s own cells, which reduces the risk of rejection, which can occur when a donor is used. Based on the evaluation, the source of the stem cells is determined, whether it is bone marrow or adipose tissue. In some special cases, we can provide stem cells derived from both sources, but the decision rests solely with the treating surgeon.

Quality standards

We manage for each client a third party certification (from a globally accredited laboratory) of the cell count and usability of the cells we process from the Certificate of Analysis (COA) of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Stem cell transplantation

Stem cells can be cultured in the following ways:

• Intravenous administration
• Intrathecal administration (lumbar puncture)
• Intramuscular administration
• Intra-arterial administration via catheter
• intravitreal leakage
• Retrobulbar cell injection
• CCSVI catheterization for the treatment of multiple sclerosis
• Intradermal administration

Post-operative care

Stem cell therapy does not cause any harm to patients. Generally, patients are allowed to leave within a few hours of treatment. A 24-hour hotline is available for any inquiries after discharge. The clinic’s physicians and surgeons also communicate with their patients via phone or email, providing accurate information about their progress and suggesting further recovery plans when needed. For example, in the case of a diabetic patient, after reviewing their current symptoms, the specialist can recommend the appropriate dose of insulin.
