“I’m fine. Music? Yes, I’ve heard it.” He was serene, he even hinted at a smile, and now the 10-year-old boy who was operated on today at the Salesi hospital in Ancona is in pediatric resuscitation, to the sound of a grand piano, sung at 432 hertz. An innovative intervention, planned for the removal of a double tumor of the spinal cord, carried out by the neurosurgical Roberto Trignani, head of the department of Neurosurgery at Ospedali Riuniti in Ancona. With him a multidisciplinary team of 15 people.
While the surgeon was working, Emiliano Toso, molecular biologist and musician composer, played the piano in the same room.
“The operation lasted four hours – explains Trignani – everything went well, there were no complications. A magical atmosphere of complete harmony was brought into the operating room ”. It is the first time in the world that a piano has entered an operating room. The boy was operated under total anesthesia but “from the encephalogram we saw that it was as if he also perceived the music, because when the notes were interrupted the path changed”. In no more than three days, the baby will be able to stand up. The tumor mass was completely excised. “Then we will have to wait for the right moment – says Trignani – to see if the tumor has completely stopped”.
