Center for Surgical Science (CSS)
The Center for Surgical Science was founded in 2015 with the aim to improve the treatment of patients with surgical diseases resulting in minimal morbidity and optimal clinical outcomes. Through a cross-disciplinary research approach and by using multi modal interventions we want to characterize the major issues for patients undergoing surgery in order to individualize pre-, intra- and postoperative treatment. We have a focus on understanding what drives an excellent treatment for patients with different comorbidities and different surgical diseases. Our major research areas are in patients with cancer in the digestive tract, patients undergoing emergency surgery and patients undergoing abdominal wall and bariatric surgery. In the clinical setting we have implemented ‘Enhanced Recovery After Surgery’ protocols in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery and are using minimally invasive surgical techniques (laparoscopic surgery, robot assisted laparoscopy, combined endoscopic laparoscopic procedures, and advanced endoscopic techniques). We firmly believe that state of the art ‘Enhanced Recovery After Surgery’ protocols and minimally invasive surgical techniques are the main stay of any surgical treatment and a prerequisite for performing research in surgical pathophysiology. Our vision is deeply inspired by pioneers within this field. CSS is utilizing a wide spectrum of research methodologies including in vitro studies, ex vivo studies, prospective and randomized clinical trials, and epidemiological research. We have thus, based on the different research methodologies, divided our research group in three research groups: - The big data and personalized surgery group. - The translational research group. - The clinical outcomes research group.
