Why Fat? – Because your fat is full of regenerative potential to help you heal. Yes, it turns out that fat contains a variety of components that play a role in tissue regeneration and healing. Things like adipose-derived stem cells, exosomes, pericytes, cytokines, and chemokines that can be safely harvested from your very own fat with a simple liposuction, and then painlessly re-delivered back into you safely and effectively to help you treat pain from degenerative discs, joints, and arthritis. And it might only get better as we age and need it more. Tune in.
Dr. Larson recently collaborated with other talented surgeons in Park City, Utah. The trip was filled with great skiing, excellent food, spectacular company, and stimulating discussions. Now in his 3rd decade of ABNS Board Certification Dr. Larson is dedicated to improving minimally invasive outpatient spine surgery. Regenerative medicine has been instrumental in facilitating post-injury and post-operative recovery and returning the patient back to whole again.
OR time is coveted, managing the elements is essential.
There is so much pressure with Neurosurgery. Never more than when a life is at stake! In this episode Dr. Larson is clearly touched by the life saving efforts of his call team. You won’t want to miss it!
Neurosurgery happens 24/7. This makes sleep a luxury when you are on-call. Dr. Larson drifts into the neuroscience of sleep. He explains how his Neurosurgery residency training, his endurance, and his lifestyle have him so well prepared to manage sleep deprivation on-call. “The mind that diagnoses you, and the hands that heal you.”
A side of surgery that is not often shown is the emotional toll of trauma. The cases that get you thinking, and make you reflect on the value of life, time, and being present. Built Not Born reflects on just that.
Hospitals are now called upon to act as the great filtration systems for the COVID-19 pandemic. Around the country hospitals are nearing 2x capacity. Our local hospital is in crisis care mode. All but absolute emergency surgeries are canceled. This on call week is very different than the rest.
Trauma. Trauma. Trauma. An on call week filled with patients whose life threatening injuries make every moment and precise action count. A neurosurgeon learns neuroanatomy stroke by stroke during their training, and once learned this knowledge is forever.
Life of an adventure driven Neurosurgeon. How endurance enhances brain function and helps you push your limits.
Often the complexity of Neurosurgery patient encounters reinforces the essence of life. This became apparent after Dr. Larson treated 2 very special patients while on call. Listen to hear the stories of these 2 inspiring women who chose life when faced with uncertain futures.
