Dr. Michele Trevisan teacher of Mako procedure
/
The Clinica San Francesco of Verona proves itself among the main European trainers of robotic surgery.
MD, Michele Trevisan, Orthopaedics and Traumatology Functional Unit, participated as speaker and faculty member in the annual European robotic certification programme for orthopaedics surgeons named “Mako System Certification Surgical Training Programme – Mako Total Knee & Partial Knee & Total Hip applications” held at the ICLO Teaching and Research Center in Verona (Italy) since 2nd to 3rd July 2019.
Dr. Trevisan, together with other Italian, British and Greek colleagues attended to the training of 20 surgeons from all over Europe about the Mako hip replacement with a specific in-depth analysis of direct anterior approach, able to preserve the tissues (more innovative), and of posterolateral approach (currently the most widespread). The Doctor is a member of the team directed by MD, Piergiuseppe Perazzini, who in December 2012 carried out in Clinica San Francesco the first two robotic hip replacements in Europe and outside the USA. The San Francesco’s staff knows very well the procedure thanks to its periodic formative stages at Mako firm in Fort Lauderdale, and orthopaedic Clinic of Doctor Dounchis in Naples, both in Florida (USA), in order to improve this innovative procedure.
The first day of meeting provided for 4 laboratories for the development of surgical skills with a view to deepen the Mako robot applications in partial and total knee replacements. During the second day, in the same way, other two laboratories regarding the total hip replacement was subsumed.
