Paolo Pederzoli is a Full Professor of Surgery at the University of Verona. He was Chief of the Surgery Department at G.B. Rossi Hospital in Verona. His research focuses on both inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the pancreas. He pioneered a surgical method involving drainage-lavage of the retro-endo peritoneum, which has since been adopted in the world’s main surgery schools and has led to a drop in the mortality rate from 80% to 20%. More recently, his research interest has been in neoplastic diseases, in particular exocrine and endocrine neoplasms. His private hospital (Pederzoli Hospital) is near Verona, making Verona one of the leading centers for this type of disease.
