The doctor from Sulmona Venanzio Porziella took on the role of director of the simple departmental operational unit of thoracic surgery at the ASL Toscana Nord-Ovest, based in the Livorno hospital, a month ago. This nomination represents a significant step for Tuscany’s healthcare offer, since the Livorno hospital acts as a point of reference for a vast area that includes thirteen hospital facilities, from Piombino to the Island of Elba, Forte dei Marmi, Lucca , Massa, and the entire northern coastal stretch.
Porziella, 58 years old and with a successful career, brings with her vast knowledge in the field of thoracic surgery. Having graduated in medicine from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Rome, he continued to specialize at the same university, distinguishing himself for his commitment and skill in thoracic surgery.
Previously, he worked at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome as head of esophageal surgery in the thoracic surgery department. During his career, he performed over 3,000 operations, many of which were characterized by high complexity, especially in the oncology and functional fields.
Its excellence is not only limited to clinical practice, but also extends to scientific research, with over 300 publications in renowned national and international journals. In 2013, he was awarded the title of Knight of San Silvestro by Pope Benedict XVI, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of medicine.
Professor Porziella expressed his satisfaction with the opportunity to serve the Tuscan community and underlined the importance of his role in promoting traditional and minimally invasive thoracic surgery. One of his main objectives will be the development of a close collaboration with the department and the specialization school of the University Hospital of Pisa, with the aim of guaranteeing integrated management and excellent training.
Speaking of the future hospital in Livorno, Porziella expressed optimism regarding the design of a cutting-edge structure, responsive to the needs of the population and modern medical challenges. This new hospital will not only strengthen healthcare provision in the area, but will also offer a more sustainable environment, in line with the principles of environmental health.
Finally, Porziella thanked those who contributed to the smooth running of hospital activities and expressed her determination to best serve citizens and public health. With the human and technological resources available, he says he is ready to face future challenges with passion and commitment, always remaining faithful to his belief in public health as an essential tool for the well-being of citizens.
The arrival of Professor Porziella is a great opportunity for the North-West Tuscany Local Health Authority and a positive sign for the future of thoracic surgery in the region. His experience and commitment are a valuable addition to the Tuscan healthcare landscape, promising quality care and continuous innovation for patients.
