In minimally invasive surgery, he applied and continuously developed new surgical techniques for colorectal resection, both for cancer and for complicated diverticular disease, in neoplastic disease of the stomach, in the pathology of the joint esophageal-gastric (hiatus hernia, reflux and gastroesophageal achalasia), in obesity surgery and in laparoscopic inguinal, femoral or incisional hernia repair.

It carries out research in immunology of cancer. He has performed experimental studies on biomaterials and biotechnologies to innovate intestinal suture.He has carried out studies on the adhesion of the prosthesis in the laparoscopic treatment of the pathology of the abdominal wall.

In its Department of Surgery it takes place every year over two thousand surgical procedures, more than 90% with laparoscopic approach. The Centre is European benchmark regarding the pathology of the abdominal wall (inguinal and incisional hernia repair) with one of the most important international case studies.

The Department is recognized as a center of excellence with regard to the laparoscopic treatment of colorectal disease, esophageal-gastric disease and pancreatic disease. In addition, the Center has recently been recognized as a National Center of Excellence with regard to care and surgical treatment of obesity, with almost 1000 procedures performed each year.
In the Department they are performed resection and ablation procedures (radiofrequency or microwave) to neoplastic disease of the liver, always laparoscopically. Every year we also organize training courses that attract surgeons from Italy and abroad who have the option of following interventions in the operating room and learn surgical techniques performed.
