Alex Zanardi, the handbike champion who had a dramatic accident last June near Siena, will soon undergo a new intervention. This was communicated by the Irccs San Raffaele hospital in Milan, explaining that “Mr. Alex Zanardi, hospitalized since July 24, is undergoing a sub-intensive care program, prepared by a multidisciplinary team coordinated by professors Luigi Beretta, director of Neuroreanimation, Mario Bussi, director of Otolaryngology, Sandro Iannaccone, director of Neurorehabilitation, and Pietro Mortini, director of Neurosurgery. At the same time, a further surgical path aimed at craniofacial reconstruction has begun. A first surgery has already been performed successfully, a few days ago, from Professor Mario Bussi and a second intervention to be performed by Professor Pietro Mortini is already planned for the next few weeks “.
“In addition, for several days Alex Zanardi has undergone cognitive and motor rehabilitation sessions, with the administration of visual and acoustic stimuli, to which the patient responds with transient and initial signs of interaction with the environment. In the face of these significant progress, however, the doctors reiterate the persistence of a complex general clinical picture, on whose prognosis it is absolutely premature to unbalance “.
