Surgery and Rehabilitation

We focus on how patients best possibly heal and recover in order to return to work and sports after complicated orthopedic surgery and other surgical treatment of e.g. gastrointestinal cancer, thyroid gland diseases, bladder or kidney.

What we do

We span from basic research to biomechanics, imaging, big data artificial intelligence analytics, clinical and epidemiological research. We advance minimally invasive surgical techniques to improve rehabilitation. By use of microdialysis we study effects of local antineoplastic treatment by use of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for e.g. ovarian and colorectal cancer.

Who we are

We are more than 300 researchers and PhD Students who collaborate closely with clinicians, and researchers from a wide range of fields as well as partners from the medico-technical industry and computer intelligence collaborators/big data researchers.

Research areas and centres

ADMIRE

The research focus on microdialysis for sampling and pharmacokinetic profiling of free drug concentrations in target tissues.

AutoRSA

The research focus on automated analysis of dynamic x-ray recordings to describe native and arthroplasty joint biomechanics in terms of kinematics, stability and dysfunction.

Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery

Research based on four specialities: cardiac, thoracic, and vascular surgery as well as the anaesthesiology related to these fields.

COST: Determinants of Physical Activities in Settings

DE-PASS will illuminate why individuals and/or societies adopt a physically active or inactive lifestyle

Ear, Nose, Throat, Head and Neck Surgery

The research spans basic science including experimental studies and clinical trials.

Late Adverse Effects after Cancer in the Pelvic Organs

National Center for research on survivorship and Late Adverse Effects after Cancer in the Pelvic Organs.

Urology

We conduct research into diseases of the renal urinary tract in both children and adults. We aim to update clinical knowledge and develop new basic research methods.
