Spoleto Hospital, International Recognition for Robotics

SPOLETO – Arrive from Strasbourg a prestigious international recognition for Spoleto hospital surgery. The robotic esophageal surgery, based on the high quality of the surgical technique and its educational nature, has been published on the very ambitious "WebSurg" of the IRCAD (Institute for Research Against Cancer of the device) digestive). Launched by Professor Jacques Marescaux and his team in 2000 in Strasbourg, WebSurg is currently the point of reference for all the surgeons of e-learning in minimally invasive surgery in the world. A true virtual university dedicated to continuing education in minimally invasive and robotic surgery through the publication of videos of surgical procedures, operating techniques and the opinion of renowned prestige experts. Available in 7 languages, it is currently one of the largest communities of surgeons, with 400,000 members from 254 nations. The robotic surgical intervention of European recognition was performed in the surgical block of the Spoleto Hospital by the staff of the complex structure of General Surgery, led by Dr. Giampaolo Castagnoli, and performed by Dr. Luigi Marano with the collaboration of Dr. Alessandro Spaziani, anesthetists and nurses. The patient, suffering from an oesophageal disease called "esophageal achalasia" was subjected to "esothageal myotomy according to Heller with gastric esophagus-gastric according to Dor", considered today as the gold standard for the treatment of acalasic pathology. "This recognition – says Dr. Marano – is the subject of many Italian and foreign surgeons because it represents a kind of" top-gun "of minimally invasive surgery.But this is the result of the first time. an intense work, started about ten years ago at the esophagogastric surgery of the Second University of Naples, which involved many operators.In particular, a great impetus to the functional surgery of the esophagus was provided by the primary, Giampaolo Castagnoli through a close multidisciplinary collaboration (otorhin, endoscopists, surgeons, nutritionists) with high professional skills, including a Dr. Maurizio Longaroni for the functional study of "esophagus." All this testifies that the excellence is never that of a single individual but of a whole group of professionals.The results – he concluded – show that Spoleto surgery led by Dr. Cast agnoli is a team that works. " The great international professional commitment, coupled with the results of decades of scientific research, is a source of pride for surgeons and the Spoleto Hospital which, once again, is at the center of the global medical community for its recognized value in the world. field of minimally invasive and robotic surgery
