Main point:
北美的结果与中国的结果不符。肖传国的外衣在美国也快要被戳穿了。
However, the results in North America as measured by improvement in bladder
function and continence have not yet matched the results in China.

A STATEMENT ABOUT THE XIAO PROCEDURE SURGICAL TRIAL
Since its inception, Sophie's Voice Foundation has closely monitored nerve
rerouting surgery for bladder reinnervation as an avenue for research and
treatment of children with spina bifida. Initial reports of this procedure,
which was developed in China, suggested a very good success rate so that
children could empty their bladders on their own and stay dry. For the
past three years, we worked with doctors at Children's Hospital of Atlanta
worked to develop a protocol for a surgical trial to be conducted in Atlanta
while reviewing the results that were coming out of North American centers.
At this point, there is evidence that nerve rerouting can successfully bring
new functional nerves into the bladder. This means that nerve rerouting
should remain an important avenue for research.
However, the results in North America as measured by improvement in bladder
function and continence have not yet matched the results in China.
Neuroscience tends to be very complex and scientists and doctors are just
beginning to understand the way that nerves behave when they are divided and
reconnected during rerouting procedures. There are many questions at a
basic science level that will need to be answered in order to better
understand how this procedure works and how it can be made more successful.
Fortunately, the National Institutes of Health is supporting an effort
continue evaluation of this procedure. We will continue to closely monitor
emerging results. For now, Sophie's Voice Foundation and the participating
physicians at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta believe that the most prudent
course is to await these results. We will continue to focus on the
prevention of spina bifida, prenatal education, support of family outreach
programs and research that improves the quality of life for children with
spina bifida.
