This trial pretends to validate for clinical use a bioengineered product composed of mesenchymal stem cells produced by the Instituto de Biologia y Genetica Molecular (IBGM), Valladolid (MSV, which have already been approved by the Spanish Regulatory Agency for three previous clinical trials) and a cross-linked matrix of autologous plasma patented by The Blood and Tissue Bank of Asturias (WO2008/ 119855) for bone maxillary cysts refilling. These two groups collaborate in the present project with the team of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Hospital Universitario del Río Hortega, who leads the clinical trial and deals with the medical aspects. The proposed trial is based on positive results obtained in previous animal studies performed by the present multidisciplinary team. A phase I / II clinical trial with 10 patients suffering from bone cysts in the maxillofacial region is proposed. Autologous mesenchymal stem cells isolated from a bone marrow sample will be seeded in the autologous plasma matrix and cultivated for 3 weeks. At this time, the cyst will be removed by surgery and the cavity filled with the protein matrix containing the mesenchymal cells. Follow up tests will be conducted at 3 weeks, 3 and 6 months following the evolution of the cavity by panoramic radiography and computerized tomography scan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SI-6603(Condoliase) in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
Intraoperative hypothermia is associated with many clinical adverse outcomes. Many techniques were applied to prevent intraoperative hypothermia, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been known to blunt intraoperative hypothermia by increasing thermoregulatory vasoconstriction threshold. The investigators assessed the effect of PEEP on the prevention of intraoperative hypothermia during spine surgery in prone position.
Recently the importance of electrical PRO system is increased for the accuracy, convenience, and efficiency for both patients and physicians. For the evaluation of quality of life, various self-reported questionnaires is filled-out by the patient, mostly in front of outpatient clinic, and doctor usually take times to calculate the score. If there is electrical PRO which is available with mobile device, the efficacy of clinic would be improved. The investigators developed such a system and applied the system for patients with spinal disease. The investigators assessed the effectiveness of application of electrical-PRO in outpatients' clinic for patients who had filled-up same questionnaire in paper version.
This is a prospective, exploratory study to verify intra-operative handling and safety and to collect preliminary short-term safety and efficacy data of the Turris® Facet Fuser, a small bioresorbable device for the immediate immobilization of the facet joint. Patients eligible for study enrollment will present with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases involving the L4/L5 segment and requiring spinal fusion.
Spread of cancer to the spinal column is a growing problem in patients with cancer. It can cause a number of problems including pain, instability and neurologic problems. If left untreated, progressive weakness, numbness and bladder/bowel disturbance occurs. The aim of treatment is to help with pain and to reduce the risk of these neurological problems. This treatment has traditionally been radiotherapy to the spine. Surgery has always meant large open operations with a long recovery time and significant risk of complications. There has been new technology that has allowed less invasive operations to take place to stabilise the spine. The aim is to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord in addition to stabilising the spinal cord. These techniques are called 'minimally invasive' and include surgical techniques such as cement augmentation and percutaneous instrumentation. The aim of this study is to compare traditional open operations with these new minimally invasive techniques to see if they do result in reduced complications and quicker recovery in addition to achieving the goals of surgery.
To establish an observational registry for systematic collection of clinical data from Renaissance-guided spine surgeries.
The primary objective of the Spine Registry is to enhance the understanding of spinal disease and treatment of spinal disease with the goal of guiding treatment options.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the rate of new or worsening neurologic deficits and/or radiculopathy following lumbar or cervical surgery in light of IOM using neurological testing (motor and sensory) in the optimal management of the surgical patient.
