General Surgery

Your gift to SIU General Surgery helps us to be a leader in high quality education, cutting edge research, and comprehensive and compassionate patient care.

General Surgery at SIU Medicine promotes advanced surgical techniques, compassionate patient care and innovative research opportunities. General surgery is a medical specialty that requires extensive knowledge and training in surgical management of a range of diseases. We’re home to a diverse and expertly trained group of general surgery providers who care for patients throughout central and southern Illinois.

As a showcase to SIU Medicine’s commitment to excellence, all of our general surgeons are fellowship-trained in at least one advanced surgical discipline, including trauma and critical care, surgical oncology, bariatric surgery, colorectal surgery, advanced surgical endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery. We help patients who require elective or emergency surgical interventions and collaborate closely with other disciplines to ensure our patients and their families have a caring and effective experience. We also ensure our learners receive a comprehensive, hands-on education that prepares them for successful, meaningful careers.
