Department of Surgery
2012 Annual Report
Submitted by Dr. Gerald M. Fried
1
Section 1-Research and Publications
Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg stepped down after a long tenure as Vice-Chair of Research and
Director of the Experimental Surgery graduate program. Jake Barralet, PhD, who succeeded
Janet Henderson, PhD as the Director of Orthopedic Surgery research, was appointed as
Vice-Chair, Research for the Department of Surgery and Director of the Division of
Experimental Surgery. Anie Philip, PhD, Director of Plastic Surgery research, was appointed
as the new Program Director for the graduate program in Experimental Surgery. Christie
Schneider was hired as the coordinator for the Experimental Surgery Program.
The Research mission of the Department of Surgery is in the process of major change. After
completion of a self-study document reviewing our research performance, and an internal
survey of attitudes and values of members of the department with respect to research, we
invited an external review of our research performance to benchmark us against leading
academic departments in North America. This was chaired by Dr. Garth Warnock, Professor
of Surgery at UBC, working with Dr. Franco Carli, Professor of Anesthesiology at McGill and
Dr. Michael Kramer, Professor of Pediatrics and Epidemiology at McGill. Their report
provided valuable insight into the strengths and weaknesses of our research effort and
informed a strategic planning retreat held in January 2013.

Breast Cancer and Breast Reconstruction: What
I have learned over the years
Graduate Medical Education:
The Department of Experimental Surgery offers graduate programs leading to M.Sc. and
Ph.D. degrees. The Experimental Surgery program offers excellent opportunities for
training under the supervision of professors based at McGill or in the research institutes
of the McGill teaching hospitals.
Based on the recent strategic plan, graduate programs in Experimental Surgery will be
streamed under the following headings:
13
1. Basic science research
2. Clinical research (including clinical outcomes, patient safety, processes of care,
and enhanced recovery)
3. Education/simulation research
4. Surgical innovation: a pilot program will be begun in 2013, led by the department
of surgery. Graduate students with a minimum of 2 years of clinical training in
surgery will teamed with graduate students in business administration and in
engineering. These 3-person teams will work on the development of novel
surgical devices, including the development of market surveys, business plan,
engineering, regulatory issues, and intellectual property law. Their goal is to
develop a new, patentable product to solve a clinical need.
The scope of the research and close connections with other centres and departments of
McGill and other universities provide ample opportunities for collaboration.
The research opportunities in the Department cover a broad range of topics from repair and
regeneration to cancer cell biology and sexual dysfunction. Research interests include
studies of wound healing, scarring and skin tissue engineering, receptors and signal
transduction pathways, cartilage repair and osteoarthritis, islet cell differentiation and islet
transplantation, tissue engineering of cardiac muscle, immunopathogenesis of liver
xenograft rejection, osteoinduction and biomechanics, sepsis and multi-organ failure, biology
of cancer, sexual dysfunction and prostate cancer, and surgical health outcomes.
A list of research directors by specialty and a description of their research topics may be
obtained from our website (http://www.mcgill.ca/experimentalsurgery) under the “Faculty"
tab.
