Gastrointestinal Surgery and Minimally Invasive Surgery

The Division of General Surgery includes a special focus in minimally invasive surgery of the gastrointestinal tract and the abdominal solid organs. Our Center for Advanced Training and Simulation (CATS) is developing and training physicians in innovative strategies for managing a host of surgical problems using minimally invasive techniques.

The Gastrointestinal Surgery team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. We have extensive experience in treating diseases of the esophagus, the stomach, the duodenum, the gallbladder, the biliary tract, the spleen and the pancreas. The GI team emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach at the Digestive Health Care Clinic and the Markey Cancer Center.
