Abstract
This chapter outlines the role of surgical research in advancing clinical knowledge, achieving better clinical outcomes and ultimately improving the quality of patient care. It reviews the origins of surgical research and the challenges that need to be overcome if it is to survive, describing the importance of translation of research into clinical practice through better trial design, information dissemination and teaching. Finally, this chapter looks to the future of academic surgery and the shape that this may take. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
