General Surgery
Message from Interim Division Chief
The members of the UTHSC Division of General Surgery provides high quality, cutting-edge
and compassionate care to the Memphis region and beyond.
The Division provides both acute surgical care and elective services at a number of
the hospitals in the Memphis area including the Methodist, Baptist and VA systems.
In particular, faculty members possess significant expertise in the application of
minimally-invasive general surgical techniques and also are highly engaged in education
and research.
An important recent addition includes the Section of Bariatric Surgery which now provides
comprehensive multidisciplinary medical and surgical weight loss services to the community.
We are also excited that the reach of the Division now extends beyond the Memphis
region to the international stage as it houses the rapidly evolving Global Surgery
Institute. The GSI is engaged in missions across multiple countries and continents
and provides a venue for service, education and research to our faculty, residents,
fellows and students.
