Lasco Historical
Clinical Archive
Cases treated by Professor Gino Emilio Lasco’s team, reconstructed from clinical records and professional memory as a living notebook of diagnosis, choice, technique and outcome.
Open the case notebookWHY THIS ARCHIVE EXISTS
Experience disappears unless someone records it.
For more than 60 years, Professor Lasco’s teams encountered facial trauma, deformity, infection, TMJ disease, reconstruction and unusual clinical problems across changing generations of surgery. Many of those lessons were never designed as research papers. They remain valuable because they show how clinicians observed, reasoned, adapted and followed their patients.
This archive preserves that practical inheritance case by case. It is not a museum and not a conventional journal. It is a clinical notebook made public for education.

Every case follows the clinical encounter.
- 01The patient arrives
Age range, complaint, mechanism, timing, examination and immediate priorities.
- 02What the team knew
Available imaging, diagnostic limitations, differential diagnosis and historical resources.
- 03Possible treatments
All reasonable options at that time, not only the treatment ultimately chosen.
- 04The decision
Why the team selected, modified, staged or declined a particular intervention.
- 05Treatment record
Technique, interdisciplinary participation, materials, complications and postoperative care.
- 06Outcome and hindsight
Follow-up, what was learned, and how the same case might be approached today.
PROTECTED CURATION
One curator publishes.
Everyone may learn.
Original files, identifiable clinical images and unfinished drafts remain in the curator's private Dropbox. Only Carlos A. Andreucci can create, edit or publish an archive case. The public site receives only an approved educational edition with identification reduced to what is clinically necessary.
