[Models for cooperation between experimental and clinical surgery--from the clinical viewpoint].
In order to cope with the tasks in the field of surgical research manifold models of cooperation have developed in Germany: 1. the independent Institute for Experimental Surgery, 2. the partly independent Section for Experimental Surgery, 3. the unindependent Section for Research, 4. the Clinical Research Group and 5. the Interdisciplinary Research Group. The efficiency of this cooperation between researchers and clinicians is dependent on the availability of research laboratories, the inclusion of methodological specialists, an adequate keeping of laboratory animals, independent funds for research, and on a certain amount of free time which can be dedicated to research activities, devoid of clinical obligations; a high methodological standard and a good knowledge of the clinical and scientific fields are fundamental.
