"Life and professional choices of everybody are not only caused by pure technicality, even if at high levels, but also by the ascertainment of the results obtained after the treatment the doctor chooses for his patient.
Having known, at the beginning of the 90s in france and England, the possibility of treating patients suffering from cancer of the rectum without obliging them to live with the signs of an irreversibile mutilation (i.e. the artificial anus) made me and my team develop an innovative and systematic programme, which has found nowadays scientific consensus at any level.
Indeed I believe that a scientific exchange of theory and experiences for spreading the surgical technique is neccessary in order to improve the qualità of life of patients.
For reaching these targets, I have thought, together with my colleagues, that it was neccessary to create A.R.E.C.O., which main object is the constitution and management of the School-Master of specialistic surgery for the treatment of rectal tumors".
