What does ADTT mean in TRANSPLANTATION

Autologous Dual Tissue Transplantation (ADTT) is a type of tissue transplantation that involves the use of patient’s own cells to restore or regenerate certain types of tissues and organs. In this procedure, a sample of healthy tissue from the patient’s body is taken and replicated either in vivo or in vitro. The replicated tissue is then transplanted back into the patient to replace damaged or diseased tissues.

ADTT works by taking a sample of healthy cells from the patient’s body, replicating it, and transplanting it back into the same patient. This process can be done either in vivo or in vitro, depending on the type of tissue being replaced and how much replication needs to be done. Once the new tissue has been transplanted, it will signal stem cells within the body to aid in its regeneration and healing process.

ADTT may be beneficial for patients who have had organ failure, significant damage to certain tissues due to injury or disease, need organ transplantations but don't have an organ donor available, or individuals with specific genetic diseases which require repair at a cellular level. Additionally, autologous dual tissue transplantation may provide an alternative treatment option for people who do not respond well to traditional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

As with any medical procedure there are risks associated with ADTT including infection due to improper handling of tissue samples prior to implantation, rejection due to incompatibility between donor and recipient tissues, bleeding due to trauma caused during implantation and formation of scar tissue which can limit implant efficacy. It is also important for patients undergoing ADTT to monitor their health closely post-procedure since complications can occur even after successful treatment.

Most side effects from ADTT are temporary and may include pain at the site where donated cells were extracted as well as swelling and redness around the area where implanted cells were inserted. Additionally some patients may experience nausea and vomiting after receiving a transplant along with headaches or fevers due to their bodies responding differently than expected towards newly implanted cells.

The duration of each individual's ADTT procedure will vary based on factors such as what kind of tissue is being replaced, where it needs to be implanted back into the body as well as if other procedures like imaging scans are required before hand etc.. Generally though most procedures should take no more than 6 hours from start-to-finish.

Immediately following your surgery you will likely begin noticing signs that your body is healing itself such as reduced pain levels and improved range of motion in affected areas however true results may take several weeks/months depending on your particular case.
