3D Printing in Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery

Doctor Luigi Di Rosa, MD, PhD, completed residencies both in plastic reconstructive aesthetic surgery and in ophthalmology, combining clinical and surgical professional experiences in both general plastic surgery and oculoplastic reconstruction. His clinical experience includes comprehensive knowledge of complex wounds, anatomy, and physiology and a strong understanding of plastic surgery practices and standards. After his residency in Plastic Surgery, he is now Plastic Surgeon and Chief Sanitary Officer of the "Centro Salus" Multi-specialty clinic in Palermo, Italy. Since 2018 Di Rosa is also Med School Lecturer in General Pathology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Palermo. The great interest developed for clinical and pre-clinical research, led to a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine and deeper knowledge in 3D printing, the latter turning a decade later into his primary field of research and publishing. On top of lecturing, he is also member to a number of national and European learned societies, as the Italian Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic surgery (S.I.P.R.E.) and the Italian Society of Ophthalmoplastic Surgery (S.I.C.O.P.).
