In June, Dr. Giorgio Pivato joined Humanitas as Head of Hand Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery.

Objectives at Humanitas
“My goal at Humanitas is to create a hand surgery that optimally responds to the needs of the patients, with particular attention to the concept of mini-invasiveness of the entire treatment pathway: not only a reduced surgical invasiveness, but also shorter hospitalization and recovery times and personalized follow-up pathways. In addition, the possibility of collaboration and integration with all the other Group structures makes it possible to meet the geographical needs of patients.
Another objective is to strengthen the collaboration with the trauma team in the field of Reconstructive Microsurgery in First Aid, to ensure better quality in the treatment of specific hand diseases, to the benefit of the patient,” explains the specialist.
