Research
Hannover Medical School is a university hospital and combines the three main tasks of patient care, research and teaching. Research serves to gain knowledge about the nature and causes of diseases and helps to develop new therapies and introduce them into patient care.
The Clinical Department of Trauma Surgery researches and develops new treatment concepts in the areas of polytrauma, cartilage and joint damage, osseous tumor diseases, stem cells and innovative prosthesis systems after amputations. Furthermore, new robotic assistance systems are being designed to make surgical procedures even more precise and efficient. Doctors and scientists from the Clinical Department of Trauma Surgery work closely together and conduct both clinical research directly on patients and basic research in the laboratory.
Current calls for doctoral theses in trauma surgery can be found in the MHH doctoral thesis exchange:
