About me

  • Maria Melkemichel is a consultant general surgeon at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm and is affiliated with Karolinska Institutet. In 2021, she completed her PhD thesis on the use of mesh in hernia surgery. Her research has since expanded to include large-scale, national register-based studies and randomised controlled trials addressing clinically relevant questions in abdominal wall hernia surgery. The findings can be directly applied in clinical practice to improve outcomes for hernia patients. She also collaborates on global hernia surgery research. More recently, her research has broadened to include breast cancer.
