What's New
Acute care surgery
New surgical division provides superior accessibility and safety.
To ensure the best care possible for patients who require immediate surgery due to acute surgical problems or trauma, the Department of Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center has established a new Division of Acute Care Surgery. One of the first such divisions in the nation, and the first in the New York metropolitan area, the division and the clinicians on its staff are devoted exclusively to performing emergency general surgery, trauma surgery, and surgical critical care.
