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.

A great deal of the research efforts performed by the group in 2020 have been devoted to our participation in CovidSurg, a platform of studies aiming to explore the impact of COVID-19 in surgical patients and services. These studies included CovidSurg-Cancer (a cohort study assessing the safety of surgery for all types of cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the pandemic in cancer delay and treatment pathways) and GlobalSurg – CovidSurg Week (a global cohort study aiming to determine the optimal timing to undergo surgery after a SARS-CoV-2 infection). We have also been working on the development of the 3D-LAB project, the EU-co-funded personalized surgery project that will soon be introduced in our Hospital. The project main goals focus on improving the effectiveness, precision, safety and quality in personalized surgery. Our cancer research area and the research lines devoted to childhood-specific diseases have also been working on several long-term projects.
