Stem Cell Procedure for Cirrhosis
Find out more about this medical breakthrough.
The Rutherford procedure is a new treatment option for cirrhosis, first outlined in 2010, that uses adult stem cell and multiplication methods to treat liver disease. Basically, the patient's own cells are used to create new, healthy liver tissue which replaced damaged tissue in the liver. This reduces the need for transplants from tragedy victims and live patients, thereby providing a less expensive treatment option that does not rely on waiting lists or tissue matching. The Rutherford Procedure uses 21st century technology to solve age-old liver disease problems and help people get back to living normal lives with their loved ones..
