Bioengineering is the application of engineering principles to address challenges in the fields of biology and medicine encompassing the principles of engineering design to the full spectrum of living systems. In surgery, recent advances in minimal invasive surgery and robotics are the culmination of the work that both engineers and surgeons have achieved in the medical field through an exciting and challenging interface. This interface rests on the medical curiosity and engineering solutions that lead eventually to collaboration and development of new ideas and technologies. Most recently, innovation by surgeons has become a fundamental contribution to medical research in the surgical field, and it is through effective communication between surgeons and biomedical engineers and promoting collaborative initiatives that translational research is possible. Bioengineering for Surgery explores this interface between surgeons and engineers and how it leads to innovation processes, providing clinical results, fundraising and prestige for the academic institution. This book is designed to teach students how engineers can fit in with their intended environment and what type of materials and design considerations must be taken into account in regards to medical ideas.

introduces engineers to basic medical knowledge
provides surgeons and medical professionals with basic engineering principles that are necessary to meet the surgeons' needs

John E. Davies, BSc, BDS, PhD, DSc

John E. Davies, who trained as an oro-maxillo-facial surgeon, is a professor of Dentistry and Biomaterials at the University of Toronto. Davies received his DSc from the University of London in 1998 for his sustained contributions over a period of 20 years, to the field of biomaterials, and was the 2002 recipient of the Society for Biomaterials Clemson Award for Basic Science. He was elected a Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering in 2000. In the mid-1980s, he devised the first in vitro biological methods to study the mechanisms of bone bonding to bioactive ceramics. His work has led to an understanding of the mechanisms by which bone grows on implant surfaces and within tissue engineering scaffolds. He has developed ceramics that can be resorbed by osteoclasts (this technology has also been adopted by the Canadian Space Agency to investigate the cellular mechanisms of microgravity-induced osteopenia. See the Tomorrow Today Web site for a feature article about Bone Loss in Zero Gravity), calcium phosphates that stimulate increase in local bone mass, scaffolding materials for bone regeneration, and extraembryonic cells as a potential source of cell-based connective tissue repair.
