Microscopic Anatomy
Research in the field of
macroscopic anatomy is carried out by the Dissection Laboratory for this area,
with the support of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya’s Body Donation
Service.
Through gaining knowledge
in this field, we will be able to improve our approach to surgical issues based
on less aggressive and less bloody interventions, thereby improving medical and
odontological practice. Our work spans two main fields of interest:
- The application
to the stomach region
- The application
to the locomotive system

Research projects
- Project 1:
Localisation of the lingula and the mandibular canal via computerised axial
topography; study on live and dead bodies.
Determination of the mandibular parameters and localisation of the lingula
helps to improve dental anaesthesia and reduce the iatrongenesis of mandibular
implants and mandibular osteodistraction.
- Project 2:
Dissection guide for advanced implantology.
Collaboration with the Professor of Anatomy from the University of Seoul,
Dr. Hee-JIn Kim, has enabled us to begin a “Dissection guide for advanced implantology”.
- Project 3:
Comparative study between cognitive therapeutic exercise and conventional
physiotherapy to treat shoulder pathologies.
This study is based on comparing conventional physiotherapy treatment with
cognitive therapeutic exercise in relation to shoulder pathologies for the
purpose of improving the physiotherapeutical praxis. The study has been funded
by the Vice-rector of Research of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya.
- Project 4:
New paths in surgical approaches within orthopaedic surgery.
Study of new paths in surgical approaches in orthopaedic surgery
(endoscopy of the foot, MIS techniques, endomedullar guide in the femur) and
its possible functional implications. The project has been funded by the
Instituto Catalán de Traumatología y Medicina Deportiva (ICATME).
- Project
5:
Clinical and functional anatomy of the pelvis.
Urinary incontinence constitutes a social problem and is currently
treated using a sling mesh. The project seeks to calculate the anatomical
safety margins for the placement of a new sling without the use of needles in
order to avoid injury to the vasculo-nervous bundle of the obturador nerve. The
project has been funded by Neomedic Internacional.
