Pini - CTO of Milan since 2016 and he was Head of the Department of Microsurgery of the CTO Hospital of Turin from 2009 to 2016.

Microsurgery is a delicate, refined and demanding surgical technique that involves the use of optical magnification (operating microscope, loupes) to suture and dissect very small anatomical structures (vessels with a caliber of a few tenths of a millimeter); in particular, the field of use of this technique is peculiar in the reconstructive field in plastic surgery, in orthopedic surgery and in hand surgery where the knowledge and techniques of the two specialties converge.
