"A trip to the clinic was done by Yana
Hello, I have serious scoliosis and some other health problems, it is necessary to operate scoliosis and preferably as soon as possible since it will only get worse ... In Ukraine, everyone refused to operate because there was a very big risk, Poland also refused ... Then I My coordinator Pavel Popkov wrote to Bookimed just a great person, he answers any questions even to stupid ones, he sent my documents to different clinics and finally the Galeazzi clinic was told to come for a detailed consultation ... The consultation was successful, everything seems to be going positive, waiting for a final decision from them! A trip to the clinic was done by Yana. She got us free tickets for a special program.

Drs seemed very good. The consultation was calm and professional but I was told I would have results within 2 working days. When I didn’t receive any information I returned to the hospital and was told I would be emailed within 24 hours. When that didn’t happen I had to come in again and was hugely surprised by a very rude and impatient receptionist who was dismissive and seemed to want to blame me somehow. She made some very unprofessional comments about me to colleagues in front of other patients when she thought I couldn’t hear. Other staff did their best to help afterwards but considering the money spent and my experience I would not recommend this place at all.

I went to the Galeazzi clinic. Milan. Italy. on my son's problem - gmgantism. Coordinators from Bookimed got involved. Had an online consultation. for which I paid 360 euros. All required documentation has been sent. references. analyses. x-rays. To determine the volume of the operation and the cost, they said that the patient needs to come to Milan. I'm from Ukraine. It's hard to describe how the journey cost me. with what difficulty. Upon arrival in Milan. we are consulted by another doctor and gives quite the opposite answer.!! Is it really impossible to agree and view all the documentation. y t. h and the video was sent!!! with immediately give a negative answer during an online consultation. why do it at all then? It's just a waste of money. not problem solving. Be careful!

Founded in 1973 as the first hospital of GVM Care & Research, Maria Cecilia Hospital distinguished itself for its innovative techniques and highly complex procedures. Maria Cecilia Hospital represents the leading center in Italy for innovation in heart surgery for 50 years that handles over 15% of cardiac surgery operations in Italy.

The hospital has 211 beds, of which 24 for intensive care. It is among the few hospitals that use the Ozaki technique for the reconstruction of the aortic valve which does not require the implantation of biological or mechanical prostheses, but uses tissue taken from the patient's pericardium to create a "tailor-made valve“.

The Electrophysiology Department was among the first 14 centers in the world to implant the smallest pacemaker in the world, Micra is 93% smaller than conventional pacemakers, about the size of a large vitamin capsule, directly into the heart. The latest Gamma Knife Perfexion technology allows the treatment of brain lesions smaller than 3 cm in diameter makes it possible to avoid using a scalpel through the targeted administration of Gamma rays. Neurosurgeons make us of ORBEYETM, an innovative video-micro-surgical technique with a digital microscope with a 4K 3D orbital camera with an exoscopic approach, for the removal of extensive brain tumors.

FAQ about Stem cell therapy for arthritis in Italy

What is stem cell treatment for arthritis?

Arthritis and arthrosis are the most widespread orthopedic diseases. They damage the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the joints chronic damage. Doctors use orthopedic stem cell therapy for joints restoration.

Stem cells are the unique type of cells in human body. Stem cells are multipotent because they are the precursors of all body cells: blood, brain, bone, skin, etc. That’s why these regenerative cells can replace any damaged cell including the joints one.

Advantages of stem cell therapy for arthritis:

  • leads to the damaged joint tissues regeneration;
  • restores the immune system functioning;
  • normalize metabolism;
  • activate the production of immune cells that protect the body from an autoimmune attack.

Stem cell therapy for joints is an alternative treatment option to surgery and drug therapy.

Top 3 countries that provide stem cell treatment for arthritis

Ukraine

Ukrainian doctors use fetal, umbilical cord, mesenchymal (from the bone marrow) and adipose (from the fat tissue) stem cells. Ukraine is the only country to provide stem cell therapy for joints using fetal cells. During the therapy experts make a cells injection. After the treatment, the patients notice the pain elimination and the joints movement restoration. Stem cells replace the damaged tissues and provide the joints recovery.

Poland

Specialists of the medical centers in Poland offer only orthopedic stem cell therapy. They use this treatment method as an alternative to surgical joints replacement (endoprosthetics). The country is very popular destination for arthritis stem cell treatment among the world-renowned sportsmen. Polish experts use umbilical cord, mesenchymal (from the bone marrow) and adipose (from the fat tissue) stem cells.

Czech Republic

Experts in the Czech Republic recommend stem cell treatment for joints instead of surgical and drug therapy. They carry out stem cell treatment for arthritis using adipose-derived cells from the abdominal fat tissue. There are no contraindications for the procedure. A patient has no side effects and complications after stem cell injections for arthritis.

Types of stem cell therapy for arthritis

Stem cell therapy is divided into 2 types:

  • allogeneic (specialists provide a patient with donor stem cells)
  • autologous (doctors use patient’s own cells for the treatment).

There are 4 stem cell sources:

  • Fat (adipose) tissue is the primary source of stem cells. Doctors provide liposuction to get the cells. They use the cells from the abdominal tissue. The success rate of the therapy using stem cells from the fat tissue is 100%.
  • Umbilical cord stem cells are obtained immediately after the childbirth. 100% is the effectiveness of these cells for the child and 25% for his/her relatives in case of allogeneic stem cell procedure.
  • Bone marrow is the most widespread source of stem cells worldwide. Specialists treat over 100 malignant diseases (blood, neurological, immune, autoimmune, etc.) using stem cells from the bone marrow.
  • Fetal tissue is used as the stem cells source only in one country over the world — Ukraine. Doctors in Ukraine provide the therapy using fetal stem cells. This kind of the cells is forbidden in other countries due to religious rules. Specialists obtain the cells usually during artificial insemination "in vitro." Fetal cells use has no contraindications.
