As she told a Manhattan court, her belly button had been displaced half an inch to the left, and a thick scar wound across her abdomen from thigh to thigh. Her doctor's promise to give her "a nice flat, sexy belly" with a routine operation called a lipectomy, or tummy tuck, had turned into a nightmare...

The Soviet rationale for its use: it can prevent and break down scar tissue around damaged spines, thereby presumably encouraging regrowth of healthy nerve fibers and restoring at least some of the cord's ability to transmit nerve signals...
