SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / March 7, 2018 / Medical clinic and research facility Olympus Stem Cells Pty Ltd, based in Sydney Olympic Park, NSW, Australia, are pleased to announce the provision of medical services relating to the use of Stem Cells for symptoms of "Empty Nose Syndrome". This disorder was first described by the Mayo Clinic and can develop as a result of sinus surgery, turbinate reduction or septal surgery. The patient describes the symptoms as the inability to breathe through their nose.
This is a painful and distressing condition that is a disorder of the sensory nerves supplying the nose and inner mucosa. The disease process affects the maxillary division of the trigeminal cranial nerves and the use of stem cells is aimed at re-establishing a normal neural pathway.

Stem Cells are extracted from abdominal wall fat following a mini-liposuction procedure. The procedure is conducted under local anesthesia and stem cells are extracted following aspiration of 20-40cc's of fat. The cells and stromal vascular fraction are then injected into the affected nerves in the head and neck. For Empty Nose Syndrome the targeted nerves are the Maxillary division of the Trigeminal nerve.
Olympus Stem Cells Pty Ltd are the only company undertaking this groundbreaking treatment in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The surgery is day stay only. More information on the clinic and the work that they do can be obtained at http://www.olympushealthgroup.com.au.
