Stem Cell Surgery

Stem cell surgery is an advanced medical technology that uses stem cells to regenerate and repair damaged tissues or organs.
In particular, orthopedic surgery is actively using stem cells to treat joint and cartilage damage such as knees, shoulders, and hip joints.

Major Stem Cell Surgery

Cartistem

Cartistem is a cartilage regeneration treatment using cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells. It is primarily used to treat knee arthritis and cartilage damage. It is excellent for treating cartilage defects in arthritis patients due to aging or trauma, and in particular, it has the advantage of progressing regardless of age and degree of cartilage damage compared to artificial joint surgery.

Key Features
· As a non-surgical treatment, it is injected into the damaged area in the form of an injection.
· Restores joint function through cartilage regeneration.
· You can expect a quick recovery and pain reduction.

  • Diagnosis and Evaluation

    Assess knee condition through MRI and X-ray.

  • Cartistem Injection

    Stem cells are injected into damaged cartilage areas.

  • Rehabilitation Treatment

    Post-injection rehabilitation helps cartilage regeneration.

MegaCarti

MegaCarti is a treatment that regenerates damaged cartilage using mesenchymal stem cells extracted from a patient's own bone marrow. This treatment is especially effective in treating serious cartilage damage in the knee joint.

Key Features
· It is highly safe by using autologous stem cells.
· Improve joint function through effective cartilage regeneration.

  • Diagnosis and Evaluation

    Assess knee condition through MRI and X-ray.

  • Bone marrow collection

    Take stem cells from the patient's bone marrow.

  • Stem Cell Cultivation

    Cultivate the collected stem cells to secure the required amount.

  • Infusion of MegaCarti

    Inject the cultured stem cells into the damaged cartilage area.

  • Rehabilitation

    It helps cartilage regeneration through rehabilitation treatment after injection.

Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical method that directly inspects and treats the inside of the joint through small incisions.
This surgery is used to effectively diagnose and treat joint diseases and injuries, and can be applied to various joint areas including knees, shoulders, hips, and wrists.



Arthroscopic surgery process

  • Proactive Diagnosis and Evaluation

    Evaluate the condition of the joint and plan surgery through imaging tests such as MRI and X-ray.

  • Preparation for surgery

    Local anesthesia or general anesthesia is performed to ensure that the patient does not feel uncomfortable during surgery.

  • Incision and arthroscopic insertion

    Insert the arthroscope (small tube with high resolution camera) into the joint through a small incision. This arthroscope allows you to check the inside of the joint in real time.

  • Treatment implementation

    Identify the damaged area through arthroscopy and, if necessary, insert surgical instruments to remove or repair the damaged tissue. For example, remove the ruptured cartilage or reconstruct the ligaments.

  • Finishing and suturing

    At the end of the operation, the arthroscope and surgical instruments are removed and the incision is sutured. It is usually a small incision, so it leaves little scarring.

  • Recovery and rehabilitation

    After surgery, the patient can observe the condition for a certain period of time in the recovery room and then return home. It restores the function of the joint through rehabilitation treatment and helps to return to daily life quickly.

Advantages of Arthroscopic Surgery

  • Accurate diagnosis and treatment

    High-resolution cameras allow you to check the inside of the joint in detail, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment.

  • Quick recovery

    The minimally invasive approach results in a shorter recovery period and less risk of pain and complications.

  • Small scar

    The small incision leaves little scarring, and it is also advantageous in terms of beauty.

  • Short hospital stay

    In most cases, same-day surgery is possible, and a quick return to daily life is possible with a short hospitalization period.
