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 6 lines of research: traumatic, bone septic disease, knee, hip, hand pathology and is incorporating a new shoulder pathology research line.

During 2019 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 national and international institutions. We have been awarded with national competitive project grants as Instituto de Salud Carlos III and different societies such as SECOT (Sociedad Española de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatológica) and SEROD (Sociedad Española de la Rodilla).

We want to emphasize the end of patient inclusion in Hip Attack trial with a total of 3000 patients, and our contribution with 300 patients, being the site with the highest recruitment. And highlight the New England Journal of Medicine publication of the results of the international randomized HEALTH trial. This fact has further strengthened our relationship with McMaster University of Canada.
