Senior Member PB Posted April 4, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2007 Dr Rogers (UK) recently claimed that he is using a new "advanced storage solution" that allows grafts to grow from day one and not shed: Dr Rogers date=Apr 2 2007, 07:59 PM - We have found that since we changed to more advanced storage solutions (not just saline) for the grafts, more patients are finding their grafts are remaining and growing from day one(but not all, and some may still shed even 6 weeks later). This is the first time I have heard of this and I was wondering if any of the US/Canadian docs are using this "advanced storage solution"? Or if any patients have actually been treated with this "new advanced solution"? I know some of my own grafts hung on for 6 weeks after my HT even without any "advanced storage solution", but the majority had shed by then. Could this be true?

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 PB, First time I'm hearing this too...I tend to be skeptical of new information at first, especially when general promotional words are used like "advanced storage solutions". What is this miracle advanced storage solution? What is "advanced" about it? The very word in itself reaks of promotional hype to be honest. Word like that are used to spark interest...make people believe that they have something that others do not...after all...it's ADVANCED!Taking out that very word would give it more credibility...bring it back down to earth. Of course, one should still ask what that storage solution is that they claim to work wonders...and that's my question. I'd be interested in hearing more from anyone who knows.

Bill Hi Bill, That's exactly what I thought, but I thought I'd check on other forums to see if there could be any truth in it and if anybody else has any information about it. Dr Rogers didn't mention what the solution(s) is/are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member YoungGuy Posted April 5, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2007 I would be sceptical about this because UK doctors generally have a reputation for, well, sucking (it's a technical term). Also, the word "advanced" in place of a real description screams "snake oil". Any way to get some concrete info on how this works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted April 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2007 Honestly, If our coalition docs have not been utilizing this "new" procedure, I would discount it to a sub par technique. We have some global docs on here so I trust them better than other quacks out there.. No offense of course but hey, look at the credentials of the docs on here.. Can't get much better JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
