A major breakthrough takes place in the field of medical history especially stem cell field when a 10 years old boy had gone through a trachea surgery successfully through stem cell surgery. All the credit goes to the British and Italian surgeons at the great Ormond street hospital for children who got this achievement after nearly nine hour long surgery.
The experts took the bone marrow stem cells of the boy, injected them into a windpipe of donor and implanted the boy with the windpipe stripped off its cell. This boy is the first child to receive stem cell organ therapy, while the surgeon replaced the longest airway ever. The boy was suffering from long segmenttracheal stenosis and was not able to breathe due to tiny windpipe. He received many treatments but his condition worsened. Now the condition of the child is extremely well after the stem cell surgery which took place recently.
“This is a ray of hope and a positive sign for all the experts working in the field of medical science especially stem cell experts” says Mr. Karan Goel, Chairman of STEM CELL GLOBAL FOUNDATION.
He feels that such treatments potentially can be moved out of the hands of number of specialty centres into many hospitals around the world, including those in developing nations.
The whole team especially Prof. Martin Elliott Cardiothoracic surgeon and Director of tracheal services at Great Ormond Street Hospital feels extremely delighted after the positive results and are sure that all these type of services are going to be beneficial and more successful.
Such type of development shows how stem cell based treatments can save the lives and can be used in the creation of living structures which draw upon the body’s own natural healing mechanisms for their support.
Stem cell global Foundation with its global network tries its best to reach the needy patients and make them aware regarding these sorts of developments and helps the people to get rid of these sorts of incurable diseases with its global network across the world.
This type of developments motivates and will most likely results in a revolution in the field of regenerative medicine and we can expect that it will lead to replacement of other organs such as larynx as esophagus by using stem cell treatment very soon.
