We have a productive relationship with the Institute of Biological and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow. Both Research Fellows are preparing MD theses. With the co-operation of the Veterinary School in Garscube and the Department of Surgery at Dundee University, we are developing the study of fetal and developmental physiology and minimally invasive surgical techniques. We are investigating the clinical application of the Glasgow Artificial Anal Sphincter. This was designed and developed by Mr. Constantinos Hajivassiliou.
Preliminary studies are underway in adult patients.
All areas of basic research complement our clinical interests and are aimed at improving our understanding and management of paediatric surgical problems.
