BSD SUR - General Surgery: Clinical
About the Department
General surgeons at the University of Chicago Medicine focus on a broad
range of diseases, including various types of cancer, endocrine
disorders, esophageal diseases, bariatric surgical treatment, breast
diseases, and more. In treating this wide spectrum of diseases, our
surgeons are also trained to use minimally invasive techniques,
including robotic and laparoscopic approaches, to ease the patient's
surgical experience. Our surgeons also work in close collaboration with
experts across the hospital to ensure each patient receives the care he
or she deserves to achieve optimal outcomes. The research endeavors by
faculty and investigators in the Section of General Surgery are just as
wide and varied as the diseases they treat. In addition to their
numerous outcomes-based research projects, our investigators are busy
with complex basic science questions that will one day allow physicians
to deliver better care to all patients. These scientific endeavors
revolve around uncovering the pathophysiology of infections, genomics
and physiology of pancreatic cancer, and much more.
