Short description

Scandinavian Surgical Outcomes Research Group (SSORG) started in 2008 as a network of colorectal surgeons with academic interest from six Swedish and four Danish hospitals.

The aim of the group is to scientifically evaluate surgical treatments and perform clinical research with an emphasis on large multicenter trials. We evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatments and with all the participating hospitals as a base for recruitment of patients we aim at a fast inclusion rate. Most of our trials include health related QoL as well as health economic end-points.

Current projects

  • LAPPRO
    Robotic surgery for prostate cancer, laparoscopic prostatectomy robot or open

  • LapLAV
    LAParoscopic LAVage 

  • ANCA
    A registry based study of clinical results and health related quality of life in patients after treatment for anal cancer

  • QoLiRECT
    Quality of life in rectal cancer patients

  • QoLiCOL

  • Quality Of LIfe in COLon cancer

  • SMOP – Social media on prescription?
    A randomized trial investigating if a health platform could improve patient outcomes

  • WoW
    Watch and Wait: Clinical complete response after (chemo)radiotherapy in advanced rectal cancer: A multicentre prospective national cohort study

  • Predict

  • The peritonitis study

  • Studies of mechanisms of action

Completed studies

  • COLOR II
  • DILALA - LAparoscopic LAvage vs resection (Hartman procedure) for acute DIverticulitis with peritonitis
  • EASY - EArly closure of temporary ileoStomY
  • PhysSURG
  • Stoma-Const
  • Inter-COL – interview study on anastomotic insufficiency
