Research is a part of a growing institution. It involves multitude of steps right from maintaining the data to publication of a paper in national/international journal.
Only few institutes in practice maintain the day-to-day details about the patients visiting to the hospital.
Patients suffering from various spinal ailments are treated conservatively as well as surgically depending upon the symptomatology and findings on different radiological tests.
We at SSHRI record and store all the medical data pertaining to patients visiting to our centre. This medical data is stored in the computers in various sections. This is possible due to dedicated software developed and edited by Stavya consultants.
All the information stored in the computers is analysed by the spinal surgeons and research analysts working in our institute.
Research studies are proposed, planned and executed in a systematic manner. All the proposed research studies are initially planned and discussed among the spine surgeons in the institute. Few studies involve patients clinically, radiological studies which are non-invasive in nature.
Few studies involving newer drugs, newer surgical techniques, newer implants need utmost planning and critical work up before executing. Then in the next stage, Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC) approval is taken for the proposed study. We at SSHRI have an institutional ethical committee since 2009.
Research studies once approved by ethical committee are then executed in proposed ways. Patient consent is taken in all the studies. All the information collected is analysed and then statistically calculated deriving to results.
As a spine surgeon, operating patients is a skilled job, but writing a research paper is a tough job that takes a lot of patience, time and also thinking process.
Submission, Review and finally acceptance – results in a paper publication in reputed national/ international, ortho/ spine journal. We, at SSHRI, have published 16 papers in 2019.
For the benefit of patients, we have uploaded all the published journals of preceding years.
SSHRI has its own institutional ethics committee which supervises all in home funded/nonfunded research project.
