Welcome
Welcome to the Division of General Surgery, located within the Department of Surgery at SIU School of Medicine. We are 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, general surgeons are trained in eight advanced surgical disciplines, 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.
