Department of Surgery

If you've been told you need surgery, the physicians at the University of Chicago Hospitals can help. Our teams of expert surgeons have access to the latest research and most advanced technology. From complex brain or open-heart operations to simple outpatient procedures, our surgeons offer the latest advances in care for adults and children. University of Chicago surgeons work closely with other acclaimed specialists to provide personalized treatment and ensure that surgery is the best option.

When surgery is recommended, it's comforting to know that our physicians are the area leaders in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). MIS uses smaller incisions, shortens recovery time, and is less painful than traditional open surgeries. The range of procedures we offer is unsurpassed by other area hospitals.
