Research interests
My current research focuses on colorectal disorders, including IBD and malignancies. Since a few years, my team strongly concentrates on pelvic floor problems. We aim to investigate functional outcomes following new treatment modalities for constipation and faecal incontinence. We also aim to evaluate new diagnostic tools for assessing pelvic floor disorders.
