Area of Research
Quality of indications for surgical interventions in colorectal and general surgery, over and undertreatment, intraoperative process-optimization, surgical complications and their management
Currently in particular:
- in Colorectal Cancer:
- Reducing diagnostic delay in patients with early onset colorectal cancer by the development of screening criteria for patients under the age of 50 (EOCC SNAPSHOT)
- Optimizing care for patients with low rectal cancer and low anterior resection syndrome (RECOVER RCT)
- in Robotic Surgery and Process Optimization
- Ergonomy of robotic surgery for surgeons AND doctors assisting at the operating table (ERGOROB)
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of robotic, laparoscopic and open visceral surgery procedures: What is the CO2 footprint of modern minimal invasive surgery and what are the low hanging fruit for CO2 reduction targets?
