Summary of clinical/research background

Responsible for a special unit designed to operate as a National Referral Center for the Surgical Treatment of IBD. The unit is part of a multidisciplinary network, together with gastroenterologists, pathologists, paediatricians, oncologists, rheumatologists and radiologists with the aim of providing high quality of care for IBD patients from the whole country. The outpatient’s clinic of Surgery and Stoma-therapy for IBD patients, organized jointly with a Consultant Gastroenterologist, has a volume of 500 patients a year; I’ve performed over 2000 surgical procedures in General, Oncologic, IBD, and Minimal Invasive Surgery. I’ve a special surgical interest in advanced colorectal and IBD laparoscopic surgery (more than 75% of abdominal procedure are performed laparoscopically). I’m specialist in enteral and parenteral nutrition for critical surgical patients, specialist in advanced wound dressings for surgical and trauma patients. I’m project leader and project partner in research projects in general and gastrointestinal surgery, and in basic science, clinical and surgical aspects of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I’m author of original articles (Impact Factor 167,551), abstracts, book chapters, scientific CD-Roms and DVDs.
