Surgery

Clinical Trials

The Department of Surgery doesn’t just excel in the operating room. Through our extensive and innovative research programs, we are also focused on the development of new techniques and therapies that promote better outcomes and improve the quality of life for patients following surgery.

As part of that goal, the department’s surgeons are involved in groundbreaking clinical trials that give patients access to new treatments that are not available anywhere else.

Our ongoing trial activities explore the use of novel surgical procedures, intra-operative devices, and investigational cellular therapy products to improve patient health outcomes. We are committed to continually expanding our breadth of trials.
