Particular expertise is available in the application of image-guided, minimally invasive surgical techniques, including microendoscopic discectomy.Along with the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation, the program is involved in a ground-breaking spinal cord injury study of the effectiveness within 14 days of injury of treated autologous white blood cells in restoring function. The Phase II clinical trial of ProCord, sponsored by Proneuron Biotechnologies, Inc., is a randomized-controlled study involving patients with acute complete spinal cord injury who meet study criteria.
