Most procedures are covered by the main insurance companies.
There are numerous pathologies that can be treated and that allow in
many cases to avoid or at least delay surgery.

At the Sandro Pertini Minihospital, the Regenerative Medicine Center has at its disposal the main autologous components with regenerative, immunological and anti-inflammatory power which are used in different fields of application. It will be the responsibility of the Professional to decide on the indications, any contraindications, the type of autologous preparation to be used and the possible timing of repeating the treatment.

This is a widely used method with proven benefits which consists of a simple sampling of peripheral blood which, centrifuged in a specific way, is then injected into the injured tissue.
Although PRP has numerous indications, it is mainly used in:

• orthopedics (cartilage pathologies, tendonitis, tendinosis, ligament injuries, injuries in athletes, etc.)
• urology and gynecology (erectile dysfunction, male and female genital lichen, interstitial cystitis, etc.)
• plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine (repair of skin and subcutaneous tissues of the cheeks, ocular and periocular areas, neck, burn lesions, etc.)
• androgenetic alopecia and areata

From a peripheral blood sample, monocytes and growth factors are recovered from blood via a closed-circuit device effectively, quickly and without risk of contamination.

Monocytes, produced in the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells, perform several important functions in the body as they are capable of ingesting and destroying pathogenic microorganisms, foreign particles and cellular debris, modulating inflammation and triggering tissue regeneration.

Monocytes are used in:/strong>:

• vascular surgery (diabetic foot and ischemic limb, wounds, sores and scars etc.)
• orthopedics (tendon and ligament injuries, inflammatory joint pathologies, etc.)
• gastroenterology and proctology (chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases, fistulas etc.)

The procedure involves a small sample of adipose tissue (from 20 to 120cc) from the abdomen, via a cannula, to then be processed within a particular system which is then grafted into the injured tissue.
This adipose tissue extract is rich in mesenchymal stem cells which promote the regeneration of damaged joint tissues, stimulate the immune system and drastically reduce inflammation and pain in the joint into which it is inoculated.

Purified autologous adipose tissue is indicated in:

• orthopedics (osteo-cartilaginous lesions, moderate arthrosis, tendon or ligament lesions, plantar fasciitis, etc.)
• neurosurgery (chronic pain affecting the spine, facet joints, prevention of disc degeneration)
• aesthetic and plastic surgery (breast reconstruction, treatment of ugly scars, burns, non-healing wounds, volume defects, etc.)
• urology and gynecology
• proctology
• androgenetic alopecia and areata
