Questo volume riporta alla luce l’esistenza del chirurgo bolognese Benedetto Schiassi (1869-1954), approfondendone le dinamiche professionali ed umane, offrendo riflessioni che spaziano dalla scienza medica, alla filosofia e alla storia. «Padre mondiale della psicosomatica», ideatore e autore di interventi innovativi, tra cui la deviazione chirurgica del sangue portale, la vagotomia selettiva, la broncotomia attraverso il mediastino, la splenocleisi, la colecistendesi e la ricostruzione dello stomaco, Schiassi – candidato al Premio Nobel nel 1948 – si impone come alfiere della chirurgia, vissuta come pratica volta alla rifunzionalizzazione di organi e apparati. Gli oltre 40000 interventi, le numerose pubblicazioni e i rapporti con altri colleghi – in particolare Augusto Murri, Pietro Albertoni, Alessandro Codivilla, Vittorio Putti, Harvey Cushing e Julius Spivack – tracciano la fisionomia di un periodo storico cruciale per il progresso sociale, culturale, tecnologico e denso di innovative conquiste mediche. Amante della letteratura, dell’arte e della filosofia, il chirurgo italiano riemerge per la multiformità della sua visione scientifica ed umanistica. Scomodo per i suoi contemporanei e dimenticato dai posteri, Schiassi può ora, attraverso questo volume, rivendicare a buon diritto il suo posto nella storia della medicina. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… This volume brings to light the existence of the Bolognese surgeon Benedetto Schiassi (1869-1954), deepening his professional and human dynamics, offering insights ranging from medical science to philosophy and history. Globally acknowledged as the "father of psychosomatics," creator and author of many innovative interventions (including surgical portal blood diversion, selective vagotomy, bronchotomy through the mediastinum, splenocleysis, cholecystesis and stomach reconstruction), Schiassi - candidate for the Nobel Prize in 1948 - established himself as the advocate of surgery, which he considered as a practice aimed at the functionalization of organs and systems. Over 40,000 interventions, numerous publications and relationships with other colleagues - in particular Augusto Murri, Pietro Albertoni, Alessandro Codivilla, Vittorio Putti, Harvey Cushing and Julius Spivack - trace the physiognomy of a crucial historical period for social, cultural and technological progress and full of innovative medical achievements. Lover of literature, art and philosophy, the Italian surgeon re-emerges for the multiformity of his scientific and humanistic vision. Uncomfortable for his contemporaries and forgotten by posterity, Schiassi can now, through this volume, rightly claim his place in the history of medicine.]
