General Surgery

The research group in General Surgery aims to develop research activities in the field of Surgery from the most clinical and surgical aspects related to the quality of care to the most basic and translational aspects of etiopathogenesis, pathophysiology and the bases of the diseases included in its different areas of interest, as well as in the therapeutic procedures to address them. It is focused in several topics that include the fields of Abdominal Wall Surgery, biomaterials and bioengineering, Colorectal Surgery and Proctology, General Endocrine, Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery, Esophagogastric Surgery, and Thoracic Surgery. It includes clinical surgeons who make up the care teams of the various clinical lines and includes a basic research laboratory with two researchers with special interest in the study of the extracellular matrix and inflammation and biomaterials and their integration.
