Usually autologous (from the patient’s own cells) stem cell therapy is free of adverse affects. However, all surgery bears certain risks, from the anesthetic, infection, temporary discomfort, bleeding or wound healing problems. In very rare cases, transient epileptic seizures could occur. The benefits and possible side-effects vary from one disease to the next and between individuals. This should be discussed in detail with the transplant specialist involved in your case.
