Surgical anatomy is the biological science that studies the anatomical problems relating to surgical diseases and the corresponding interventions. It has therefore always been, since the beginning of surgery, the basis of all anatomical knowledge, to become in the nineteenth century, an essential university course for those who wanted to approach surgery. Surgery has then gone through a notable number of innovations (just think of the revolution in laparoscopic or endoscopic surgery) which have made surgical anatomy increasingly multifaceted and multidimensional. The ACCO Course seeks to re-propose this historic teaching in an updated and multidisciplinary way.
