Rather than a single practitioner, patients are treated by a team of experienced surgeons, providing multidisciplinary care in both in-patient and out-patient settings. In addition to us routinely treating patients with general surgery needs (biliary disease, appendix disease, hernia, endocrine conditions, and upper and lower endoscopy needs), we provide around-the-clock intensive care unit management of patients with various critical illness including trauma, vascular disease and complicated obstetric and gynecologic, orthopedic, transplant and plastic surgical processes. What is Acute Care Surgery?Īcute Care Surgery takes the fundamentals of trauma care with its team-based approach and continuous quality improvement, and applies them to patients with urgent surgical conditions. Our team is comprised of twelve faculty members, each board certified by the American Board of Surgery in general surgery and surgical critical care. The Section of Trauma Acute Care Surgery (TACS) provides comprehensive, around-the-clock care for trauma, surgical critical care and emergency general surgery patients.
