Discover the Realized Benefits of PIEZOSURGERY® in Neuro & Spine Procedures

PIEZOSURGERY® provides clinicians with superior surgical control, unmatched precision and maximum intraoperative visibility, due to the cavitation effect.

PIEZOSURGERY® promotes improved and accelerated bone healing, minimized blood loss and enhanced safety.

PIEZOSURGERY® is proven to preserve the surrounding dura, nerves and vessels, promoting preservation and sustained integrity of the spinal column.

NEURO&SPINE EXCELLENCE

Experience PIEZOSURGERY® – the piezoelectric bone cutting technology.

Dr. Laura Grazia Valentini

Dr. Laura Grazia Valentini is head of the Departmental Operational Structure of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the C. Besta Neurological Institute in Milan.

In 1987 she graduated with full marks in Medicine and Surgery and specialized at the University of Milan (in Neurosurgery in 1992 and in Neuropathology in 1996).

After a start of generic neurosurgical activity (cervical and lumbar disc disease), her professional activity has focused on Pediatric Neurosurgery. She performed several surgeries for the removal of brain and spinal cord tumors; she later devoted herself to the most typical pediatric neoplasms, such as those of the posterior fossa, and of the medulla.

She has operated on over 400 patients affected by Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia, she organized a Multidisciplinary clinic for the follow-up of those affected by this rare disease.

She has personally performed more than 350 cranioplastic surgeries for craniosynostosis.
