Omental transposition in chronic spinal cord injury

Spinal Cord
G L CliftonJ V Edwards

Abstract

The results of omental transposition in chronic spinal cord injury have been reported in 160 patients operated upon in the United States, Great Britain, China, Japan, India and Mexico, with detailed outcomes reported in few studies. Recovery of function to a greater degree than expected by natural history has been reported. In this series, 15 patients with chronic traumatic spinal cord injury (> 1.5 years from injury) underwent transposition of pedicled omentum to the area of the spinal cord injury. Of the first series of four patients who were operated upon in 1988, one died, one was lost to follow-up and two were followed with sequential neurological examinations and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans preoperatively, at 1 year post injury and 4 1/2 years post injury. Another 11 patients were operated in 1992 and underwent detailed neurological and neurophysiological examinations and had MRI scans preoperatively and every 4 months for at least 1 year after surgery. All patients completed a detailed self-report form. Of the total of 13 operated patients in both series followed for 1-4 1/2 years, six reported some enhanced function at 1 year and five of these felt the changes justified surgery primarily because of improved t...Continue Reading

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
