Dr. med. Ivan Tami
Specialista in Chirurgia ortopedica
e traumatologica dell'apparato locomotore
Specialista in Chirurgia della mano
Specialista in Chirurgia della mano
Sono nato nel Cantone Ticino, la regione svizzera di lingua italiana, cresciuto in un piccolo paese dell’Alto Malcantone. Attratto dall’attività manuale, da ragazzo ho trascorso gran parte delle mie estati aiutando i nonni nei lavori di campagna.
Ho scelto di studiare medicina per il semplice desiderio di voler aiutare il prossimo, intraprendendo una strada che non è legata a una tradizione di famiglia.
Le specializzazioni dapprima in chirurgia ortopedica e traumatologica e in seguito in chirurgia della mano mi hanno permesso di integrare in questa mia professione il piacere dell’attività manuale. Ancora oggi mi capita di ricordare e mettere in atto, mentre opero, i consigli che in modo molto discreto mi impartiva il nonno.
Oggi grazie alle tecniche di microchirurgia, parte determinante della mia attività di chirurgo, riesco a curare il dettaglio e a soddisfare quella mia ricerca costante della perfezione indispensabili per raggiungere i risultati migliori a favore del paziente.
Mi impegno quotidianamente in vari ambiti per perfezionare ed aggiornare continuamente le mie conoscenze teoriche e pratiche, per poter offrire le migliori cure ai pazienti. Un ringraziamento particolare va alla mia famiglia che mi sostiene in questa passione.
Mi chiamo Ivan Tami

La formazione continua, obbligatoria e regolamentata in Svizzera dalle società di specializzazione, si basa su un’autocertificazione triennale. In occasione dei controlli effettuati regolarmente dalla commissione di vigilanza della società di specializzazione, lo specialista deve presentare i certificati di frequenza.
Partecipare regolarmente a corsi di aggiornamento e congressi nazionali e internazionali è inoltre un obbligo etico e morale per lo specialista. Il medico ha così la possibilità di tessere una rete di contatti per poter discutere con altri colleghi i casi più rari e complessi. I corsi (workshop) consentono al chirurgo di aggiornarsi riguardo all’evoluzione tecnologica in campo medico e alle nuove tecniche operatorie.
I costanti progressi dovuti alla ricerca medica permettono di offrire cure sempre migliori al paziente. Il medico altamente specializzato riesce a ottimizzare anche le risorse del sistema sanitario mediante una diagnostica mirata e terapie adattate alle diverse patologie e traumi.

PD Dr. med. Thomas Giesen
Specialista in Chirurgia ortopedica
e traumatologica dell'apparato locomotore
Specialista in Chirurgia della mano
Specialista in Chirurgia della mano
Sono nato a Berlino in Germania, ma sono cresciuto e ho studiato in Italia dove mi sono laureato nel 2001 presso l’Università degli Studi di Milano.
Durante gli anni di specialità in Ortopedia e Traumatologia dell’apparato locomotore, sempre a Milano, rimanevo affascinato dall’incredibile strumento “mano”, una delle chiavi dell’evoluzione umana. Già al terzo anno di specialità, iniziavo una serie di fellowship mirate all’apprendimento di questa chirurgia così fine e precisa, che mi portavano dal 2003 e poi, dopo il conseguimento del titolo di Ortopedia e Traumatologia nel 2006, fino al 2010, a visitare ed a esercitare in importanti centri per la Chirurgia della Mano nel mondo.
Il “Ganga Hospital” in India, il “St’Andrew’s Centre for Plastic Surgery and Burns” vicino a Londra e il “Kleinert Institute” negli Stati Uniti, sono alcune delle esperienze che mi hanno forgiato di più, lasciandomi tra l’altro delle amicizie, professionali e non, che durano ancora oggi.
Dal 2010 iniziavo a lavorare come Capoclinica e Team Leiter della Chirurgia della Mano presso l’Ospedale Universitario di Zurigo, fino al 2017 quando ho conseguito il titolo di Privatdozent per la Chirurgia della Mano presso l’Università di Zurigo.
Nel 2018 mi univo all’amico e collega Dr. Ivan Tami per un progetto, il Centro manoegomito da lui fondato, dalle grandi potenzialità. Oggi il mio primo impegno è contribuire a questa meravigliosa e difficile disciplina, in Ticino.
