About the group
The studies cover quality assurance, patient selection for surgery, surgical procedures, treatment-related complications and long-term outcomes of treatment. They mainly include the following patient groups:
- Brain Tumors
- Intraspinal Tumors
- Traumatic Brain Injury – TBI
- Cervical Spine Fractures
- Outpatient Surgery
- Degenerative spinal disorders
Projects
- Ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath as a non-invasive tool in the assessment of intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury
- Acute management of traumatic brain injury at Oslo University Hospital
- Cerebral venous thrombosis in traumatic brain injury (CVT in TBI)
- Management of acute odontoid fractures
- Epidemiology and Surgery in Traumatic Cervical Spine Fractures
- Neuronavigation in surgical fixation of cervical fractures
- Outpatient degenerative spine surgery
- Impact of preinjury antithrombotic therapy on 30–day mortality in older patients hospitalized with traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Tocilizumab (RoActemra) and Tranexamic acid (Cyklokapron) used as adjuncts to chronic subdural hematoma surgery. A Randomized Clinical Trial
- Surgery for primary intraspinal tumors
- The impact of demographic characteristics and non-inherited factors on the risk of primary brain tumors: A prospective population based cohort study
- Bicycle related neck- and traumatic brain injuries
- TBI and seizures
- Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI)
Quality control registries
- The Oslo TBI Registry – Neurosurgery (TBI patients admitted to OUH with imaged verified TBI)
- The Oslo Neck fracture Registry (All neck fractures in South – East Norway (HSØ))
