Abstract
Research is fundamental to surgery. In an era of evidence-based medicine, the therapeutic choices we advise need to be grounded in high quality evidence. It is imperative that surgical trainees at every level are comfortable with the language of research so that they can evaluate the data on different interventions. It is also expected that some surgeons will be fully trained academics who actively contribute to the development of new ideas. This chapter will provide the tools to understand the basics of surgical research.
