Surgical research starts with a disease or a clinical problem of the surgeon's and the research has the benefit of the patient as its ultimate goal. Basic surgical research, in agreement with this task, must therefore be defined as biomedical and clinimetric research. The problem determines the approach. Basic surgical research, therefore, is interdisciplinary; it forms a bridge between basic science and the clinic. Surgical research compared with other medical disciplines, however, is not well funded by current programs of official grant giving organisations, such as DFG and BMBF. To encounter this deficiency, it is mandatory to support existing concepts of successful surgical research, such as institutes/departments of surgical research and theoretical surgery.
外科研究始于外科医生所面临的一种疾病或临床问题，并且该研究以患者受益为最终目标。因此，与这项任务相一致，基础外科研究必须被定义为生物医学和临床测量学研究。问题决定方法。所以，基础外科研究是跨学科的；它在基础科学和临床之间架起了一座桥梁。然而，与其他医学学科相比，目前诸如德国研究基金会（DFG）和德国联邦教育及研究部（BMBF）等官方资助组织的项目对外科研究的资金投入并不充足。为了弥补这一不足，支持现有的成功外科研究理念，如外科研究机构/部门和理论外科学是很有必要的。
