General Surgery
From cancer to obesity and many difficult and painful conditions in between, the general surgeon must treat a devastating litany of diseases that threaten people's lives and health.
To that end, our Division of General Surgery houses four overlapping specialty areas:
- colorectal surgery
- minimally invasive surgery
- bariatric surgery
- surgical oncology
- trauma and critical care surgery
The Division of General Surgery is also the training ground for prospective surgeons at Stanford.
