Sava Perovic Foundation Team

During the past seven years, Dr Sava Perovic personally trained Dr Rados Djinovic to perform all of the Great Professor's 74 complex uro-genital procedures. In the past few years, Dr Perovic also bequethed to Dr Djinovic his legendary bag of urological and surgical "Tips & Tricks" which the Professor had compiled during more than 20,000 operations spanning nearly four decades.

As can be seen on TV programs such as “House” or “Grey's Anatomy” or “Scrubs” or any film about surgery (and any photograph of Dr Perovic performing surgery anywhere) surgeons do not work alone and have other people assisting them during an operation. Nobody performs surgery alone. During the past three years, Dr Djinovic (far right in the photo to the right) has led the Sava Perovic Foundation Surgical Team under the direct supervision and guidance of Dr Perovic.

The more than 74 urologic surgical procedures Dr Perovic performed on a regular basis included some of the most complex and challenging microsurgery procedures done anywhere that took up to 9-11 hours. Dr Djinovic has always been there beside the Professor as well as always one, two, three or more of the surgeons on the Sava Perovic Foundation Surgical Team with up to half a dozen other medical personnel involved. It is cooperative work.

Dr Rados Djinovic assisted Professor Perovic during almost every surgical procedure Dr Perovic performed anywhere on the planet during the past seven years. Personally chosen by Dr Perovic to carry on the Sava Perovic Foundation's mission in the decades ahead, he has long been Dr Perovic's personal representative and the leader of his “Belgrade Team” and “Team Serbia”.

If Dr Perovic performed surgery in any country, such as Germany, Italy, Greece, Russia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Republic of Korea, Thailand, Switzerland, China or Serbia, Dr Djinovic was there assisting him. He participateed in all pre-operative consultations as well as any post-op examinations conducted by Professor Perovic. In recent years, Dr Djinovic was the Professor's primary spokesperson regarding all medical matters, handling both pre-op consultatons and managing post-operative patient care.

He has been a medical doctor for a decade and his specialty is General and Reconstructive Surgery. He was an intern at the Clinical Center of Serbia and his General Surgery Residency was from April 2000 to June 2005 at University of Belgrade School of Medicine. Since May 2004, he travelled with Dr Perovic to perform surgery abroad nearly four dozen times.

Another permanent members of the Perovic Surgical Team is Dr Marko Milosavljevic. Almost all of Professor Perovic's surgical procedures are long, complex, and among the most challenging and difficult operations being performed by surgeons anywhere. In addition to , Dr Djinovic and Dr Milosavljevic, Professor Perovic also had other surgeons helping him in the operating theater when needed.

Dr Nikola Stanojevic is the youngest member of the Perovic Team at 30-years-old. He's a talented surgeon who has learned a lot while working with us for more than a year. Dr Stanojevic is highly intelligent, speaks fluent English, and is extremely dedicated to our patients. He's a very important member of our Foundation and was particularly good with the academic side of Professor Perovic's work.

Richard RothHaas has been Professor Perovic's Case Manager for several years and continues to perform that function for the Sava Perovic Foundation and Surgical Team. He responds to all pre-operative inquiries from prospective patients by email and phone as well as compiling and managing patient case files for evaluation by Dr Djinovic.

Evaluations from the doctors always take 1-19 days but patients are notified of answers immediately when they are issued. Richard can be contacted by phone at: 1-216-220-4220, if necessary. But most information patients need about surgery is technical and complex so often best put in email where it can be studied at leisure.

After surgery, all patients have direct, unrestricted 24/7 access to Dr Djinovic by phone. His cell phone has Global Roaming so works in almost any country worldwide he may be visiting.

Many patients find submitting their questions and concerns in writing by email and getting a written response from Dr Djinovic is more effective and useful. Cell phone reception can be weak. Phone batteries can run out. And because of the many hard surfaces, there is often a substantial echo when the doctor is in an operating room doing surgery.

Richard is available upon request to maintain and update your case file post-operatively for periodic evaluation by Professor Perovic of your recovery at home. A patient is welcome to ask Richard to place his/her inquiry into their case file and assist in getting an answer as soon as possible from Dr Djinovic who is often in surgery up to 14 hours per day, six days a week.

Dr Djinovic reviews currently active case files regularly and the system is independent of email communications. He has secure access to the confidential digital case files from anywhere in the world.

Richard coordinates consultations, arranges appointments for surgery in Belgrade and other locations, and manages the Team's strategic communications. He informs you of the Dr Djinovic's comments about your case and the doctor's answers to any questions you have prior to your pre-operative consultation and physical exam with him in Belgrade.
