Urology practice offering same-day injections of cells taken from a patient's own fat, aimed at male and female urological and hormone-related problems.
Lander Regenerative Urology is a private urology practice led by Dr Lander, operating from the Rancho Mirage Medical Center in the Palm Desert area and from a second office in Beverly Hills. Its main focus described on the site is urological problems in men and women, treated with cell preparations made from the patient's own body.
The procedure described on the website is done as an outpatient treatment under local anaesthetic. A small amount of fat is removed by mini liposuction, processed at the bedside in the operating room to separate out what is called the stromal vascular fraction, and then injected back into the same patient the same day. Stromal vascular fraction is the mixed cell material left after fat tissue is broken down; it contains adult stem cells along with other cell types and growth factors. The site says the processing technology was developed in Korea and further developed in California.
The site explains its reason for using fat rather than bone marrow or birth-tissue products: because the cells come from the patient's own body, it says this avoids immune reaction and disease transmission concerns. It also has a page discussing stem cells and the United States Food and Drug Administration, and refers to investigative studies. Anyone considering this should ask directly whether the specific treatment is offered under an approved trial or as private care.
The site names only one doctor and does not publish his full credentials on the stem cell page.
Two offices are listed: Rancho Mirage Medical Center, 72780 Country Club Drive, Suite 301, Rancho Mirage, California 92270, serving the Palm Desert area, and 120 South Spalding Drive, Suite 300, Beverly Hills, California 90212. Procedures are described as outpatient, performed under local anaesthetic with the cell processing done in the operating room at the time of treatment. The year the practice was established, opening hours, languages spoken and any international patient service are not stated on the site.
No prices are published. The site refers to a payment plans page but does not state consultation or treatment costs, so you would need to ask the practice directly.
