Surgeons at University Hospital and Clinics, Children's Hospital, and Ellis Fischel Cancer Center provide diagnostic, operative and nonoperative management and postoperative care for adults and children with surgical disorders. Treatment is provided by a competent and caring team of surgeons, nurses, and staff. Surgeons are available for both adult and pediatric emergency cases 24 hours a day.

More than 68,000 patients visit the surgical clinics each year. Approximately 13,400 surgical procedures are performed at University Hospital and Ellis Fischel Cancer Center per year. Many of these procedures are performed in the Same Day Surgery Center, offering patients an early return to normal daily activities.

In addition to providing state-of-the-art surgical care, members of our health care team also educate future health care providers and conduct important research.

The Health Sciences Center is one of the most comprehensive health care networks in the midwest, with five hospitals and a network of clinics offering the finest primary, secondary, and tertiary health care services.
