NeuroSpine Surgery Research Group (NSURG) is an independent, non-profit medical research group based in Sydney, Australia focusing on the surgical aspect of the brain and spine.[1]
The current chair of NSURG is Associate Professor Ralph Jasper Mobbs from the Neurosurgical Department of Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney.[2] Notable affiliated surgeons and researchers include Professor Charlie Teo AM – Neurosurgeon Prince of Wales Private Hospital, Sydney, [3] and Professor William R Walsh – Professor of Surgical Orthopedic Research Laboratory (SORL), University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.[4]
Research[edit]
NSURG research focus is categorized into five categories:[1][5]
- Using 3-Dimensional printing and technology, including patient-specific customized implants or surgical guides to improve surgical outcomes
- Morphometric and biomechanics analysis of the spine
- Medical wearable devices, using daily wearable devices (e.g. smartwatches, postural devices) to quantify patient progression/outcomes.
- New neurosurgical techniques, and systematic reviews/meta-analyses of current neurosurgical techniques; using systematic review and statistical meta-analyses to critically analyse the available literature.
- Stem cell studies of Spinal degenerative diseases
- Surgical techniques for brain tumors
