CIRUS · Research team
Research that returns to clinical practice
Our work connects surgical questions, clinical data, critical appraisal and scientific communication with the decisions that matter at the bedside.
CIRUS · Research team
Team metrics
Editorial counts are based on the team catalog. OpenAlex metrics are queried dynamically from the authors’ ORCID-linked profiles and are presented as complementary bibliometric context.
CIRUS · Applied research
From a clinical problem to a question that can be studied
Surgical practice generates questions. Our academic work organizes them through clinical observation, analysis, methodology and scientific communication.
Clinical observation
Real problems, outcomes and needs identified in surgical practice.
Surgical question
Prioritizing clinically relevant questions with research potential.
Analysis & method
Data, comparison, evidence synthesis and critical appraisal.
Scientific communication
Publications, reviews, cases, presentations and knowledge transfer.
