Balgrist-Stiftung Projects


The Balgrist-Stiftung supports research projects with high innovation potential that generate significant benefits for patients and the healthcare system. We support and promote scientific publications and international collaboration. In addition, the Balgrist-Stiftung awards scholarships and enables the employment of key knowledge carriers and specialists. It is of great importance to us that not only the reputation of the University Hospital Balgrist benefits from our support, but also Switzerland as a center for science and research.




 


Investigation of Fluid Dynamics During Endoscopic Spine Surgery

 

  • EndoSpine Fluiddynamik
  • EndoSpine Experimental Setup

However, it is suspected that pressure increases caused by fluid irrigation may contribute to adverse events. Our research team aims to bring greater clarity to the still largely unexplored field of fluid dynamics in spinal endoscopy.
