Serious mourning for the world of medicine: Bartolomeo Armenise, a long-standing neurosurgeon doctor, among the Salento landmarks, died at the age of 87.
His colleague Antonio Montinaro gave the news on Facebook, linked to the Armenian of a long professional and human association. Armenise was, in fact, Lecce’s first head of neurosurgery and subsequently one of the best at the Città di Lecce clinic.
«His professional history began in Zurich in 1960, in one of the most prestigious neurosurgical structures in the world, directed at that time by Prof. GM Yasargyl, one of the fathers of modern neurosurgery and pioneer of brain microsurgery – says the doctor in his farewell -. In 1970, the Administrative Directorate of the “V. Fazzi” Hospital in Lecce, headed by dr. Gaetano Laforgia, decided to open a Department of Neurosurgery, an indispensable specialty in a territory, which included the Provinces of Lecce, Brindisi and Taranto, which did not have it. Professor Armenise is invited to lead it and he enthusiastically accepts. The same enthusiasm that will constantly characterize his relationship with collaborators and nursing staff and the professional management of a structure that in a short time will become a point of reference for much of Puglia, especially for vascular brain pathology. His loss, concludes Montinaro, is undoubtedly a sad event for everyone, but his figure remains for those who have lived with him a point of reference for his moral stature, professional ability, dedication to work and unusual ability to form a team. ».
