Research in Surgery

Overview

The area of Research in Surgery includes more than 50 investigators distributed in five groups of research focused respectively on general and thoracic surgery, cranio-maxillofacial surgery, spinal disorders, skeletal reconstructive surgery and musculoskeletal tissue engineering. Their activity combines basic and clinical research together with robotics and virtual surgical planning. Their aims are to advance in the understanding of the causes and mechanisms underlying surgical pathologies, to deliver new knowledge and better integrated patient-centered solutions, improving surgical care and outcomes.

Our research group is a multidisciplinary team with members from the Cell Therapy Service from the Banc de Sang i Teixits and clinical researchers dedicated to preclinical translational research. During 2018 our research group has been working in the development of cell therapies and advanced technology of biological constructs for optimal integration into clinical regenerative treatments. We highlight the completion of two doctoral thesis that evaluated the efficacy of tissue engineering and cell therapy products based of ex vivo expanded mesenchymal stromal cells from allogeneic and autologous origin in preclinical experimental models. The results obtained show a safety profile of the treatments and bone regeneration capacity in these models and encourages its application into future clinical trials.
