The human body is a complex system not designed by humans. To fully understand it, one must first identify the technical problems each organ and function are meant to solve. This is the foundation of the “reasoned anatomy” approach promoted in this book.

Function is the starting point—observable and measurable—followed by the study of anatomical solutions, always interpreted as intelligent responses to specific technical challenges.

Fabio Scoppa critically reviews current therapeutic options, offering readers a comparative view of different methodologies, often characterized by divergent terminologies. A shared language is advocated to improve interdisciplinary communication.

The book also highlights the body’s remarkable potential for self-repair and self-regeneration, which, given time and appropriate management, may lead to positive clinical outcomes without surgical intervention.
