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 group has 5 lines of research: traumatic, bone septic disease, knee, hip and hand pathology. The last one, is the newest consolidated line and we expect to incorporate the shoulder pathology line soon.

During 2018 our group has been working in different projects and collaborations in the different lines, having seven doctoral thesis in project. We have consolidated collaborations with other VHIR research groups and institutions such as Sant Rafael Hospital and Canadian Institutes of Health Research and OTA (Orthopedic Trauma Association), of which we have obtained external funding.

We highlight our evolution in the Hip Attack trial during this year including 77 patients, the highest number compared to previous years. In total we have included 247 patients by now and we expect to reach the international objective in 2019.

This year we also have celebrated the 2nd Edition of Evidence-based medicine course, extending and diversifying the content in basic and advanced, by the direction of Mohit Bhandari.
