Research

Paediatric surgery is not an independent specialist area, but a discipline under surgery.
The area covers diagnostic evaluation, treatment and check up of children with congenital and acquired diseases. Diseases include injuries in the oesophagus, the digestive tract, liver, the biliary tract, pancreas, urinary tract and genital organs, where surgery can be an important step of the treatment. Research in the department concentrates on the specialist fields.
 
Research-related productivity has been consistent for the past several years. On average 5 impact factor points are produced annually per internal research man-year allocated by Rigshospitalet. External research funding of a seven-digit sum in DKK has been raised.

For a number of years, research at the department has concentrated on subjects giving rise to controversy internationally and/or nationally regarding diagnostics and treatment strategies. The department has assessed that knowledge based on own research results were weighted favourably when recommendations about treatment were released from Rigshospitalet’s Department of Paediatric Surgery.

The department has worked on the importance of bladder dysfuntion in connection with vesicoureteral reflux. Several publications relate to the problems in connection with vesicoureteral reflux, reduced kidney function and the urodynamic conditions in the lower urinary tract. It is of great clinical importance to obtain additional information about the degree to which the urodynamic conditions in the neonatal age have prognostic significance for a disease such as urethral flap, which continues to lead to end stage renal disease in childhood in 20% of the patients.  The Department of Paediatric Surgery has the necessary equipment, software and hardware.

Very early on the department has been involved in the controversial aspects about the optimal treatment of cryptorchidism, which can be found in the department’s list of publications. The idea about studying the correlation between the cryptorchist testes hisopathology in childhood and the later fertility potential in adulthood is original. The department’s cryptorchidism research has led to the establishment of a research network, which in addition to the Department of Pathology (Bodil Laub Pedersen) also includes cooperation with Prof. Anne Grete Byskov’s group at the Laboratory of Reproductive Biology and Prof. Henrik Møller (epidemiology ). As illustrated by our studies, the department’s cryptorchidism research is closely related to the Department of Surgery.
