Prof. Mihály Boros celebrated 25 years as Head of Department

A scientific meeting was held at the beginning of June to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Prof. Mihály Boros as Head of Department at the Institute of Surgical Research.

At the event, the educational activities, scientific research results and international relations of the Institute were presented by the staff of the Institute and distinguished speakers from abroad.


In her welcome speech, Prof. Dr. Márta Széll, Vice Rector for Strategic Planning of the University of Szeged, emphasized that the Institute of Surgical Research is one of the most outstanding scientific units of the university and the Faculty of Medicine, cooperating with a wide range of international partners. She also added that Mihály Boros is leading the Institute at a time when it is facing many challenges and innovations, as for instance skills training has become established in Hungary in the past 10-15 years.


Prof. Dr. György Lázár

Regarding the educational activities of the Institute of Surgical Research, we learned that the Institute plays a significant role in both undergraduate, residency and postgraduate training by teaching basic surgical, medical, emergency care, microsurgical, laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, among others. The institute also provides teaching activities for animal experimentation (FELASA) courses. It also boasts a strong record of scientific achievements, with hundreds of journal articles, abstracts, conference papers and books in Hungarian, English and German.

The event also included a summary of the past 10 years of the activities of the Skills Centre, which Prof. Mihály Boros has also helped to create, establish and run. The centre was opened 10 years ago in the former student club. The teaching facilities of the unit were state-of-the-art at that time, with computer-controlled flexible endoscopy systems, high-fidelity adult and paediatric patient simulators, in addition to traditional infrastructure for the practical educational background of internal medicine, emergency medicine and nursing. This unit is still almost unchanged today, with emergency medicine as its main profile. In 2018, another unit of the Centre was opened in the former Szeged City hospital, where the educational palette was developed further, in line with the international trends. Two fully-equipped surgical operating theatres, with adjoining scrubbing and dressing rooms and several other practice rooms have been set up in addition to general surgery facilities for gynaecology, anaesthesiology, intensive care, nursing and urology, diagnostic and imaging units. A high-level IT background, data recording and audio-visual systems are also available.

szegedi kutatók metánnal kapcsolatos felfedezései

More than twenty-five years ago, a research initiative on methane was launched in Szeged, opening entirely new perspectives on how inflammatory processes can be treated. Today, methane – once dismissed as an inert atmospheric bystander – is emerging as a surprising ally in the fight against inflammation. Building on this long-running work, Professor Dr. Mihály Boros and his team are now exploring methane’s biological effects in research that may reshape how we understand and treat inflammatory diseases. We spoke with Professor Boros about the discoveries emerging from their project, supported by HU-rizon, an international research-excellence program funded by Hungary’s National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDI Office).

The University of Szeged has reached another major milestone: on September 12, Prof. Dr. Daniel Kendoff – a world-renowned orthopedic and trauma surgeon, specialist in robot-assisted surgery, and Director of the ENDO Clinic in Berlin – performed the first CORI robot-assisted hip replacement surgery at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopaedics at SZTE’s Clinical Center. This was the first time such an operation was carried out within the framework of the publicly funded healthcare system in Hungary.
