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.

The Vall d’Hebron Spine Research Unit is a growing multidisciplinary group of professionals devoted to Spinal Disorders with an increasing impact in terms of number of publications, associated impact factor and research funding. Since 2010, we have increased the yearly published manuscripts by 80%. In 2020 we published a total of 11 manuscripts. In 2020 we were nominated for four research awards in different national and international meetings.

During 2020 we have been awarded with two new competitive research grants funded by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) and the Spine Spanish Society. We are still involved in the first national Phase 1 study to assess the safety and effectiveness of stem cells in acute spinal cord injury patients granted by la Marató de TV3.
