My research focuses on reconstructive surgery. I focus on quality of life, outcomes, innovations, and aesthetic outcomes. Many of my research projects are collaborations with several other departments within the hospital (e.g. general surgery, trauma surgery, orthopedic surgery). Recently I work closely together with the 3D department in order to plan and predict surgeries in a more detailed way with a focus on microvascular autologous breast reconstructions. Furthermore, I am a firm believer in patient reported outcome measurements and that the success of a surgery is in the end the subjective outcome that the patient experiences. Within reconstructive surgery, aesthetics outcomes are therefore also an important aspect that should not be ignored. I have a strong connection with several leading European and American institutions and I have several active ongoing international research collaborations.
