This book focuses on surgical decision-making, a key topic for both surgeons and emergency physicians who are faced with patients with acute abdominal pain.
Providing easy-to-understand technical details and discussing the interpretation of normal and pathological images, it is a valuable resource for surgeons and emergency physicians who are not used to applying clinical US in this field, enabling them to shorten the diagnostic path and avoid unnecessary costs and exposure to radiation. It is also a practical reference guide for surgeons and doctors wanting to apply US as a decision-making tool in the context of acute abdominal pain.

From the beginning of his career, he explored the application of "point of care US" in this field. He contributed to the formation of the Trauma Team at IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, but his curiosity also led him to try his hand at pre-hospital emergency, working on the 118-112 Team at IRCCS San Matteo (Pavia). He is now responsible for surgical emergencies at Legnano Hospital - Italy, also doing minimally invasive abdominal surgery. He is the current Chair of the Educational Committee of ESTES, the European Society of Emergency Surgery andTrauma.
