Implementing and evaluating Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs聽
Our multidisciplinary surgical outcomes research group focuses on improving patient recovery and other outcomes of abdominal surgery. We perform clinical trials examining the effectiveness of interventions including minimally invasive surgery, enhanced recovery pathways and mobile applications on improving recovery after abdominal surgery. We also investigate interventions to improve surgical techniques simulations and the development of novel video-based performance assessment tools.聽
