In this article authors review the specific characteristics of surgical research. Its problems and differences from other biomedical research. Specially they specify the main topics for surgical investigation, its pitfalls and methodologies. They argue that randomised prospective double blind studies must not be over dimensioned, as for surgery they present many difficulties, specially ethical and practical.  Prospective studies are been more used by surgeons for the advance of the different surgical specialities.
