Incorporating patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is crucial for ensuring the relevance and success of studies, yet it remains significantly underutilised in surgical research.
This commentary presents insights from our neurosurgical research team's experience with establishing and working with a PPI group called "Science for Tomorrow's Neurosurgery" on research regarding novel intra-operative optical imaging techniques. Through collaboration with patient-focused charities, we have successfully incorporated patient perspectives into our work at each stage of the research pipeline, whilst adhering to core PPI principles, such as reciprocal relationships, co-learning, partnerships, and transparency.
We highlight the specific value added to our work in terms of participant recruitment, research ethics and results dissemination.
将患者及公众参与（PPI）纳入研究对于确保研究的相关性和成功至关重要，但在外科研究中其仍未得到充分利用。
本评论介绍了我们神经外科研究团队在建立名为“未来神经外科科学”的PPI小组并就新型术中光学成像技术的研究与之合作的经验。通过与以患者为中心的慈善机构合作，我们成功地在研究流程的每个阶段将患者的观点纳入我们的工作，同时坚持PPI的核心原则，如互惠关系、共同学习、伙伴关系和透明度。
我们强调了在参与者招募、研究伦理和结果传播方面为我们的工作带来的具体价值。
