:: Il coordinatore Prof. Mario Pescatori

Mario Pescatori è stato accreditato in Colonproctologia chirurgica dal Board Europeo, di cui fa parte,dopo essersi laureato nel 1972 ed essersi specializzato in Chirurgia generale, Chirurgia dell’apparato digerente e endoscopia digestiva.
Ha lavorato 20 anni al Policlinico Gemelli come Ricercatore e Aiuto e un anno e mezzo, a più riprese, a Londra al St Mark’s Hospital come Postgraduate student ,Research fellow e Visiting professor con Alan Parks , John Nicholls, Peter Hawley (chirurgia, manometria, emg) Basil Morson, Christopher Williams(endoscopia e istologia) e Clive Bartram (defecografia, ecografia). Ha frequentato la Mayo Clinic ( Eric Dozois) e la Cleveland Clinic ( Vic Fazio) il London Hospital (Norman Williams e David Wingate). Ha dovuto lasciare con rammarico l’Università dopo un cambio di dirigenza e un concorso “pilotato”. Dal 1992 lavora quindi solo nel privato o nel privato-convenzionato. Sono previsti costi-ticket per i pazienti meno abbienti in un ambulatorio una volta al mese.

Ha effettuato oltre 3000 interventi chirurgici e endoscopici, specie su colon retto e ano, in varie Cliniche e Ospedali e ha pubblicato circa 200 articoli scientifici indexati su Medline , soprattutto su colite ulcerosa, stipsi e rettocele, psicosomatica, incontinenza e fistole anali, oltre a 4 monografie e a diversi capitoli su libri Springer.
Vari sono stati i contributi originali. Ha pubblicato per primo, con diversi capaci collaboratori, la sfinterotomia guidata dalla manometria nella ragade per ridurre incontinenza e recidive; la pouch a S prima con ansa efferente breve e poi senza ansa efferente e con anastomosi lateroterminale, per colite ulcerosa o poliposi; la pouch ileale con Duhamel per stipsi grave; il rapporto tra PYY plasmatico e diarrea grave postcolectomia, la pouchgrafia evacuativa per valutare le disfunzioni del rreservoir ileoanale; la classificazione endoscopica dinamica in 3 gradi del prolasso mucoso interno del retto; la elettrostimolazione sacrale midollare per stipsi cronica, insieme ai neurochirurghi del Gemelli; la sindrome della tasca rettale dopo PPH e lo schema dell’iceberg nella ostruita defecazione,insieme a coordinatori di altre UCP; la valutazione con score 1-10 del test del disegno per psicosomatosi colorettali, il doppio lembo muco-cutaneo per fistole complesse e ectropion mucoso; il neosfintere liscio con gracileplastica dopo amputazione addominoperineale del retto, per evitare la stomia permanente;lo score 1-6 per incontinenza fecale e infine la mucosectoma rettale transanale con stapler, base della emorroidopessi con PPH, meno dolorosa ma meno efficace della emorroidectomia convenzionale (vedi sotto la bibliografia di questi articoli originali di Pescatori).
Ha l’idoneità a Primario ed è fellow del Royal College of Surgeons of England, membro dell’American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons e della European Society of Coloproctology. Ha fondato Ucp Club,il Club delle unità di Colonproctologia (vedi anche sito www.SICCR.org), è Presidente onorario della Società Italiana di Chirurgia Colo-Rettale e della Mediterranean Society of Coloproctology,che riunisce iscritti da 20 Paesi.

E’ Editor di Techniques in Coloproctology della Springer-Verlag, revisore delle riviste Gut, Lancet, Colorectal Disease, Diseases of the Colon and Rectum, International Journal of Colorectal Diseases, Ospedali d’Italia-Chirurgia e Pelviperineologia. E’ Professore a contratto all’Università di Firenze. Negli ultimi anni si è battuto, appoggiato da molti,a tutela dei pazienti e del servizio sanitario, per la chirurgia a basso costo, contro l’eccessivo interventismo chirurgico, contro l’ingerenza dell’industria nelle elezioni societarie, contro le pressioni commerciali nella scelta delle operazioni, per l’eclettismo in colonproctologia, per la valorizazione dei chirurghi colorettali,ovvero di coloro che dedicano dal 70 al 100% della loro attività alla colonproctologia, poiché essi ottengono, come è ovvio,risultati migliori dei non specialisti: meno complicanze, più brevi degenze, migliore sopravvivenza, meno reinterventi e meno recidive.


:: Coordinator, Prof. Mario Pescatori

Mario Pescatori is specialized in General Surgery, Digestive Surgery and Endoscopy, and accredited in Surgical Coloproctology by the European Board, being a member of it. He spent 20 years at the Catholic University in Rome and more than one year at St Mark’s Hospital with Alan Parks, Christopher Williams and Peter Hawley. He visited the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic in US and the London Hospital in UK. He chaired the Coloproctology Unit at Villa Flaminia hospital in Rome for 14 years.

He carried out more than 3000 surgical and endoscopic operations and published about 200 indexed articles, mainly on ulcerative colitis, rectal prolapse, constipation, fecal incontinence and anal fistulae. He first described the motor effect of transverse sigmoid miotomy for diverticular disease (BJS 1978), stapled rectal mucosectomy, te basis of the modern PPH, the evacuation pouchography or ileoanal reservoir disfunction), S ileoanal pouch with short efferent limb (Ann Surg 1985), lateroterminal S ileonal pouch (DCR 1995), spinal neuromodulation for chronic constipation (G.I.Motility , ed Wienbeck, Raven Press 1983), double muco-cutaneous flap for complex fistulae (IJCRD 1997), A1 -C3 validated incontinence score (DCR 1992), semiopen hemorrhoidectomy (TIC 2004), rectal pocket syndrome after PPH and iceberg diagram for obstructed defecation (CRD 2006), 3 degree endoscopicdynamic classification for rectal internal mucosal prolapse (IJCRD 1998), ileoanal Duhamel pouch for constipation (Coloproctology 1994), the role of PYY plasma levels in post-colectomy diarrhoea (Coloproctology 1995), spasm-related internal sphincterotomy for anal fissure (Coloproctology 1989), 0-10 score for the drawing-the-family test (Pelviperineology 2006).

He edited four textbooks and wrote three chapters in Springer’s books. He is fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, member of the American Society of Colon and rectal Surgeons, and ex-member of its Iternational Cmmittee, honorary President of the Italian Society of Colo-Rectal Surgery and of the Mediterranean Society of Coloproctology.
He founded UCP Club and co-founded the European Association of Coloproctology, is Editor of Techniques in Coloproctology, an international indexed journal published by the Springer-Verlag, and reviewer of Gut, Lancet, Colorectal Diseases, International Journal of Colorectal Disease, Diseases of the Colon and Rectum and other Italian and international journals. He has a 3-yrs Professorship at the University of Florence.
In the last years, supported by many members of his Society, he was against the overuse of surgery for functional constipation and hemorrhoids, the abuse of new expensive technologies, the hidden conflict of interest, and in favour of eclecticism and tailored evidence-based low-cost colorectal surgery.
