The Bucharest Center is a very valuable one and it deserves a much ample program. The therapeutic possibility offered by the modern medicine and this technique must be available for all the people.” Domenica Forti, MD (runs the General Surgery and Abdominal Transplant Department of “Niguarda” hospital from Milan) Brief HistoryAfter only 6 years from graduating his specialty, in 1983, Irinel Popescu became Specialist Surgeon and in 1990 he became General Surgeon, getting PhD from Carol Davila University Bucharest.

The most difficult part of the implementation was the success of the surgical intervention. The ingredients for this to work were Irinel Popescu's three years training period in USA and the forming of a team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, hepatologists, immunologists, microbiologists and others. At present, Fundeni Clinical Institute operates all kinds of known transplantations (liver from dead doner, liver from living doner, reduced liver, domino transplatation)- Achieved national premieres like the first combined liver and pancreas transplantation, the first combined liver and pancreatic islet transplantation and the first stem cell transplantation for liver disease;- Wrote the law for transplantation, on the basis of the old law (2/1998), with the adding of a series of modifications modeled on the European Council directives.- Organized multi organs procurement at national level, organized organ allocation, established international partnerships. All these efforts led to the establishment of the National Transplant Agency in 2005 and his election as President of the Board, a recognizal of his contribution of establishment of a National Program of Organ Transplants in Romania. Starting with 2006, this program was officially financed by the ministry of Health."ROMTRANSPLANT". Brief HistoryIrinel Popescu and a group of scientists established in 1997 "ROMTRANSPLANT", a professional organization that, under his direction, organized 5 national congresses with international attendees. The congresses proved to be essential for the further development of Romanian transplant. Also, the organization promoted, especially thru mass media, donation and transplant of organs and that helped to raise the population rate of approval up to the level of average European rate of approval. Further more, the professional organization "ROMTRANSPLANT" plays a key role, scientific and organizational, in the development of Romanian transplant. For liver surgery, Irinel Popescu: - Effectuated over 1500 liver resections, this alone standing as one of the most important experiences at global level for a single clinic; all the techniques described in the speciality literature were used, by performing modern procedures like vascular exclusion, transparenchimatos approach, ultrasonic dissection, etc.- Helped that, beginning with 1995, the year when Irinel Popescu started the current liver surgery program at Fundeni Clinical Institute, major hepatic resections turn from exceptional (the largest number of operations until 1995 was 41 cases) to routine operations. During this, Fundeni Clinical Institute became quite a school for liver surgery. Also, other specialist from Romania came to be trained here.- Contributed that Center of General Surgery and Liver Transplantation Fundeni to become the main national center for training for “liver surgery and liver transplantation” overspecialization, with Irinel Popescu as the national coordinator.- Established in 2006 Romanian Association of Hepato-biliary-pancreatic and liver transplantation, which for he was elected as president- Had a decisive contribution to the publishing of “Liver Surgery” dissertation (Editor Irinel Popescu, publisher Carol Davila University Press, 2004), with a large number of authors, from Romania and abroad.

ARCE received full membership in European Association for Endoscope Surgery (EAES) and entered a joint program with the Italian Society for Endoscope Surgery (SICE)- Edited on CD-ROM support the work “Minimally-invasive Surgery, Advanced Techniques”, together with Corneliu Dragomirescu, that was awarded the Romanian Academy’s award “Iuliu Hatieganu”Robotic Surgery: More than 50 robotic surgery interventions were made at Fundeni Clinical Institute. Many types of interventions on that approach were performed: achalasia and hiatal hernia, cervical cancer or rectal cancer, colon cancer, hepatic resections thymic-thymectomy for myasthenia gravis or splenectomy for hematological disorders. The first approach on these cases is the laparoscopic surgery, but the goal is to have more interventions on the robotic surgery way. The system is used by both Fundeni Clinical Institute residents and non-residents. A significantly advantage on the robotic surgery is given by the fact that the operations can be performed from remote distances. A famous case for this kind of operation is the one of the surgeon Jaques Marescaux, that operated from New York an extraction of a gallbladder of a patient located in Strasbourg.
