On Tuesday 11^th October 2022 the Clinica San Francesco hosted Doctor Mark Quinn, orthopaedic surgeon from Blackrock Health Hermitage Clinic of Dublin (Ireland), accompanied by Katie Curtin. The Irish guests attended a training on Mako robot-assisted orthopaedic surgical procedures, thanking at the end of session doctor Perazzini for viewing the cutting-edge approach of robotic technology.

The Clinic – first in Europe (and outside the USA) to have introduced the robotic surgery for unicompartmental knee replacement and total hip replacement, respectively in 2011 and 2012, and first in Italy for total knee replacement, in 2017, thanks to the staff directed by Dr Piergiuseppe Perazzini, director of Orthopaedics and Traumatology Functional Unit – stood out for innovative approach in patient care and implementation of the latest technologies.

The Clinica San Francesco is also Veneto Region reference centre (since 2019) for the robotic orthopaedic surgery, as well as European Robotic Orthopaedic Centre (CORE – Centro di Ortopedia Robotica Europeo) – since 2013 – with intensive training activities for surgeons from all over the Europe.
