Surgical Outcomes Research Centre (SOuRCe)

The Surgical Outcomes Research Centre (SOuRCe) was establishment in 2002 and has aimed to promote an evidence-based approach to improve clinical practice and achieve the best possible outcome for patients. As a multidisciplinary, academic research unit of Sydney Local Health District and the University of Sydney; our research agenda addresses diverse aspects of surgical outcomes, including surgical effectiveness, patient reported outcomes and quality of life, patterns of care and evidence-based practice, health economic evaluation, assessment of patient preferences, surgical decision-making and other methodological studies.

Overall Research Output
Currently, SOuRCe is involved in 250 research studies in collaboration with multi-specialty surgical departments, allied health, nursing, other academics and consumers, based in Australia and Internationally. Over 55% of our research studies are registry-nested and originate from comprehensive data collected from the funded surgical programs, including the Advanced Gastrointestinal Research Program, Robotics Program, Orthopaedic Surgery and Vascular Surgery Programs. The other 45% of our research originates from historical collaborations within the following departments: colorectal, transplant, urology, ear, nose and throat, orthopaedics, upper gastrointestinal, breast, vascular, allied health, head and neck, anaesthetics, nursing, benign gynaecology, pathology, imaging, pharmacy and other departments and institutions.

Over the past 22 years, SOuRCe has rapidly developed to become one of the major Australian surgical research units, and is now a centre of surgical research excellence with international recognition. During this time, SOuRCe was awarded over $30M in competitive funding, including major funding bodies such as the NHMRC, MRFF, CINSW, NIHR and others. SOuRCe has published over 700 peer-reviewed scientific articles in the top surgical and medical journals, including NATURE, BMJ, JAMA surgery, Annals of Surgery, The British Journal of Surgery, Journal of Surgical Oncology and other high impact journals. SOuRCe has supervised over 70 PhD and MPHIL students and over 60 MD students. These achievements have contributed significantly to the enhancement of patient outcomes and have changed clinical practice at RPA, Australia and Internationally.

Funded Research Programs
Our funded surgical research programs include the Advanced Gastrointestinal Surgical Program (including Pelvic Exenteration, Peritoneal Malignancy, Retroperitoneal Sarcoma and Advanced Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery), Robotics Program, Orthopaedic Surgery (including the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Program), Vascular Surgery, and the Preoperative Optimisation Research Program. Most of the funded research programs are governed by the RPA Institute of Academic Surgery and are led by a large amount of multidisciplinary and multispecialty groups of clinical and non-clinical staff from a variety of departments across RPA.

Highlights of Surgical Research

Pelvic Exenteration Research Program
Pelvic exenteration is complex, radical surgery for advanced or recurrent pelvic cancers. The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital is one of the few hospitals in Australia that performs large numbers of this surgery and has evolved over 30 years into an internationally recognised centre of excellence.

Currently, SOuRCe holds the largest database in the world capturing clinical and patient reported outcomes of all pelvic exenterations performed at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. With over 50 ongoing research projects, the Pelvic Exenteration Research Program has extensively contributed to the development of the current clinical practice worldwide. Under the leadership of Prof Michael Solomon, the Pelvic Exenteration Program is celebrating the completion of the 1000th pelvic exenteration in 2022. This is a remarkable milestone for the program and is credited to the large group of multidisciplinary staff involved in the delivery of the Pelvic Exenteration Surgical Program.

Peritoneal Malignancy Research Program
The Peritoneal Malignancy program at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital is included in SOuRCe's research profile, with Cytoreductive Surgery & Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (CRS & HIPEC), performed to treat advanced cancers involving the lining of the abdomen.

The research program started at the beginning of 2017 and undertakes detailed analysis toward better understanding the clinical outcomes, patient reported outcomes, safety benefits and cost effectiveness of this highly specialised procedure. The data collected by SOuRCe is also used to identify specific patient groups who are more likely to benefit from this highly specialised surgery. To date, more than 500 procedures have been performed at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, with most patients being followed up to 5-years, including measures of quality of life and health service utilisation. The comprehensive data collection is currently contributing to over 35 research projects, including major clinical trials and international collaborations.

Robotic Research Program
In late 2015, Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) announced the purchase of a da Vinci Xi Surgical Robot and a Stryker Mako Orthopaedic Surgical Robot for use in the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Institute of Rheumatology and Orthopaedics operating theatres. RPAH is one of the first public tertiary referral hospitals in Australia to have this state-of-the-art technology available. The following surgical specialties are currently utilising the da Vini Xi system: Cardiothoracic, Colorectal, Urology, Upper Gastrointestinal and Benign Gynaecology.

Currently, over 800 procedures have been performed using the da Vinci robot and 700 using the Mako robotic system. The unique research framework within the Robotic Research Program at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, allow the collection of clinical and quality of life measures for all robotic cases. This approach resulted in the development of more than 40 research projects across multi disciplines.

Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Surgical Research Program
The Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Surgical Research Program, led by the Surgical Outcomes Research Centre (SOuRCe) in collaboration with the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA) Institute of Academic Surgery, is the newest addition to SOuRCe's research profile. The program was formalised in 2023 and works in partnership with the RPA Bone & Soft Tissue Sarcoma Unit – a world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of suspected sarcoma. This program drives advances in scientific knowledge through a robust and comprehensive research initiative, while also informing evidence-based practices. The research conducted contributes to the development of cutting-edge methodologies and expands our understanding in the field, ultimately aiming to provide the best possible outcomes to our patients.

The program has a unique approach, collecting clinical, surgical and patient reported outcomes for all patients undergoing treatment at RPA. This comprehensive information is entered into a secured online database (RPA Outcomes in Bone and Soft Tissue Tumours – ROBUST), which spans from baseline (before surgery) through 10 years post-surgery, and supports ongoing evaluation of patient outcomes across a number of research initiatives and clinical trials.
