For many years, in the collective imagination, vertebral surgery has been associated with interventions characterized by a certain surgical aggressiveness; and in fact, the traditional “open-air” methods determining the exposure and manipulation of the muscles and all the paraverte-bral tissues, fundamental elements for the physiological biomechanics of the rachis and therefore also for a correct posture, often produce a significant reduction of post-operative quality of life.

In recent years, however, vertebral surgery, thanks to the progress of technology and materials, has had an extraordinary development. In fact, the possibilities of treatment of herniated discs, fractures, scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, multiple discopathies and canalic stenosis have multiplied, with minimally invasive approaches that aim to preserve the integrity of the muscular and articular structures. “These methods, much less aggressive than traditional ones, preserve the patient’s anatomical integrity more, and allow to achieve the same clinical result of traditional surgery with smaller incisions, thus guaranteeing a faster recovery and a minor operative morbidity “says Prof. Massimo Miscusi, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the Sant’Andrea Hospital-University and at the Quisisana and Sanatrix nursing homes in Rome.

Prof. what is the minimally invasive vertebral surgery and for which pathologies it is possible to use it?

These are new surgical techniques, with which it is possible to treat many pathological conditions of the spine, minimizing damage to paravertebral tissues. However, it is important to underline that this is always true surgery, which should not be confused with all those percutaneous parachritic techniques that are used exclusively for the treatment of pain and are not intended to cure the disease.

What advantages does this surgery offer the patient?

Minimally invasive surgery offers many advantages compared to traditional vertebral column surgery: smaller incisions and, therefore, less post-operative pain and better aesthetic results; lower risk of blood loss; collapse of the risk of infections; shorter hospital stay; a quicker return to work and to the activities of daily life.

Early diagnosis plays a role of primary importance, allowing to prevent the progression of the disease make the surgical procedure more complicated and dangerous. “The evolution of the cataract is a continuous and unstoppable process. Only a specialist, by means of a complete eye exam, can diagnose the degree of opacification of the lens “asserts Luca Mosca, an oculist surgeon in Rome, who has been dealing with refractive surgery for years.

Dr. Moscow, how is the cataract treated?

The only valid and decisive treatment is surgery, during which the opaque lens is replaced with a transparent artificial lens. This is a procedure carried out with the aid of an ultrasound or femtosecond laser instrument, and performed under topical anesthesia, using only eye drops.

What goals has cataract surgery achieved?

This surgery is today absolutely painless, scarcely invasive and with very rapid recovery times. Thanks to modern cutting-edge laser instruments and a wide range of premium toric and multifocal lenses, it is also possible to correct both opacity and possible refractive defects (myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia), achieving results really extraordinary.

The aviation sector is booming and requires increasingly qualified professionals. The ever-increasing demand for passenger transport, destined to grow by 150% in the next 20 years, requires that there are various specialist figures able to face the multiple challenges resulting from this strong expansion. To be able to easily enter a highly specialized and competitive sector, it is therefore necessary to acquire a broad-based aeronautical culture. The mission of our Institute is to meet the significant demand of airline pilots, aeronautical maintenance personnel, air traffic controllers and flight attendants, providing the students with an effective and complete training program. With 3 aeronautical institutes in Italy (in Rome, Reggio Emilia and Udine), 2 training flight bases in Florida and in Spain, ours is a project made of passion, experience and quality; a project that allows, thanks to a unique teaching structure, a rapid integration into the world of work (today about 45% of our students are employed in the aviation world).

How is the training course proposed by you structured?

After the eighth grade each boy is called to choose a course of study that prepares him to better face his future. Our School, which boasts a long international experience, allows students, generally students from 13 to 18 years of age, to add to the didactic knowledge (Italian language and literature, history, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry, air navigation, circulation and aeronautical telecommunications, ect …) those practical on aircraft and on professional flight simulator (Boeing 737NG). From the third year on, during the summer breaks, the boys have the opportunity to attend our flight schools in Florida (USA) and Malaga (Spain), to obtain the first patents, then, after obtaining the diploma, complete the path necessary and obtain the ATPL license (Linea Pilot License). Particular attention is paid to the deepening of the English language, fundamental both in the aeronautical sector and for the continuation of studies in Italian and international universities.

Non-financial reporting and the Sustainability Report, including obligations and opportunities

Disciplined in Italy with Legislative Decree 254/2016, non-financial reporting obliges larger companies to provide environmental and social information – concerning personnel and the fight against corruption. To do this, specific reporting methods must be followed, which often find space in the c.d. Sustainability Report. The doctor Pier Paolo Baldi – Accountant and Statutory Auditor and CEO of CSR³ – explains the opportunities for companies that use it.

Dr. Baldi, does non-financial reporting represent an obligation or an opportunity?

Beyond the obligation imposed on larger companies, it certainly represents an opportunity also for the world of SMEs. A correct approach to CSR allows the company to identify the most relevant issues for the company itself and also for its stakeholders. We think about the expectations of customers for the offer of products or services with low environmental impact or those of employees for the expectations on the merit or corporate welfare. SMEs can seize the opportunity by enhancing what they often already do.

As a Chartered Accountant and Legal Auditor, how can the company be supported?

First of all with the professionalism gained over many years of experience: from planning to operational approach, from the drafting of Sustainability Reports to the review and certification process that is mandatory in some cases but recommended in all others. As far as we are concerned, we have developed an innovative approach to CSR and created a Start Up, the CSR³ Srl Benefit Company, which is the first Benefit Company and innovative Startup established in Italy, which offers innovative services and methods for a correct approach. to CSR by SMEs.

CSR³ Srl Why?

We wanted to represent the three pillars of sustainability: the environmental, the social, but also and above all the economic one that underlies the very existence of commercial enterprises. With a correct approach we can combine the three pillars for a growth and value perspective both of the company and of the community in which it operates.
