Monterosso Almo - Prof. Mario Messina, Monterosso doc and Director of Pediatric Surgery of the Policlinico Santa Maria alle Scotte di Siena, once again the headlines for reasons of good health.
This is the case of a baby born four months ago and released a few days ago that weighs more than three pounds, eats alone and well.
But his ordeal began just four months ago, when because of the dreaded flu virus H1N1, the mother gave birth prematurely and in emergency.


The girl weighing 750 grams was hospitalized in neonatal intensive care but his condition was very critical due to a serious intestinal problem. "We made little direct ICU - says Professor Mario Messina, director of Pediatric Surgery - thanks to the dedication and cooperation of everyone, especially nurses and anesthesiologists in the management of neonatal emergencies.
The first intervention has solved a bowel necrosis, the second operation has enabled recanalize intestine.


"Finally the little girl was discharged - adds Professor Messina - even if it came to light four months ago as if it were born today, weighing just over 3 pounds, it can eat alone and well. We are pleased and proud with the outcome, a collaborative effort of various departments (ICU, Neonatal Paediatrics, Paediatric Surgery).
It happens more often to make children weighing less than 750 grams and interventions are very complex. Over the past three years - states Messina - we operated 10 such cases and is always a huge emotional and professional commitment. Microsurgery on small bodies so small is the new frontier of our work and is also joining the family of the child. "
