O F S U R G E RY. This report highlights our many accomplishments and strengths, and provides a window into a world that is continuously moving and growing. As leaders and innovators in the field of surgery, we are constantly transforming our approach to clinical care, research and education to enhance our endeavors and shape the future of surgical practice.

Once again, the University of Chicago Medical Center received acclaim from

U.S. News & World Report (July 2008), including Honor Roll status as one of the 18 best hospitals in the United States. Additionally, many of our programs ranked in the top 25, including: digestive disorders (#6), endocrinology (#11), cancer (#18), neurology and neurosurgery (#19), heart and heart surgery (#20), kidney disease (#22), ear, nose and throat (#22).

We are cultivating a unique, research-rich environment to hold ourselves to the highest standards. Our strategic vision emphasizes:

Premier multidisciplinary clinical programs anchored in translational research and distinguished by leading-edge technology

“Chicago-style” training programs that embed simulation and immersive learning within a unique framework of ethics and professionalism

Agenda-setting research teams addressing questions of fundamental importance and applied relevance with toolboxes extending beyond traditional biomedicine

Stewardship of the Department and its legacy, leading by example to meet complex and dynamic challenges that face the University of Chicago Medical Center and its local community

Through collaborations among our 11 sections and with medical and scientific professionals at the University of Chicago and beyond, we are evolving the way we perform surgical procedures to ensure that our patients receive the most advanced, quality care to treat their diseases and conditions. Many of our patients benefit from our expertise in minimally invasive laparoscopic, robotic and endoluminal procedures, including totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass, robotic prostatectomy, endovascular procedures, robotic hepatectomy and nissen fundoplication. With the recent addition of a second da Vinci Surgical System, we are now able to provide these minimally invasive procedures to more patients.

Another key aspect is the merging of basic and translational research into our clinical practice to break new ground and move promising new treatments from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside. This includes basic investigation in five major areas: cancer and metastasis; cardiothoracic and vascular; epithelial pathobiology; immunology and inflammation; and tissue biology, bioengineering and imaging.

The new University of Chicago-Argonne National Laboratory Bioengineering

Institute for Advanced Surgery and Endoscopy is a unique collaboration that will fuse cutting-edge technology with the practice of surgery and endoscopy to augment the delivery of treatment and care within and outside the operating room. The potential outcomes could include the development of advanced instrumentation, enhanced visualization and biomaterials.

As part of a robust academic medical center, we strive to provide our medical students, residents and fellows with comprehensive training and diverse experiences that will inspire them to be the next generation of leaders.

Through the use of simulation and immersive learning technology, we are transforming the way we train our medical students, residents and fellows.

This past year alone, we developed a new simulation laboratory that features state-of-the-art technology which allows our students, residents and fellows to practice and become proficient in the basic skills and cognitive knowledge required to perform laparoscopic surgical procedures prior to entering the operating room. This innovative concept of rehearsal represents a major shift from the traditional model of demonstration and apprenticeship.

We look forward to another year of significant achievements and distinctions in our scholarly efforts, training programs and, above all, the care of our patients.

SHAPING PATIENT CARE

Advancing surgical care has always been the hallmark of the University of Chicago Department of Surgery.

Our predecessors’ pioneering work includes: Dallas

B. Phemister, MD, who in the 1930s proved that most cases of surgical shock are caused by loss of blood;

Charles B. Huggins, MD, who oversaw the first orchiectomy to treat advanced prostate cancer in 1939; as well as Christoph Broelsch, MD, who performed the first successful living-donor transplant in 1989.

The Department continues to transform patient care using comprehensive knowledge, sophisticated surgical techniques and revolutionary technology to provide the best treatment and outcomes for patients.

As part of a unified “Chicago” approach to emerging technologies, the Department is grounding new techniques in outcomes research to find the most appropriate applications of minimally invasive surgery.

In this approach, faculty discuss with each patient the entire range of options available, striving to provide the right treatment to the right patient at the right time.

The Department is a recognized leader in endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery, the practice of performing surgical procedures through tiny incisions.

Minimally invasive surgery offers many benefits over traditional techniques, including: less pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker return to normal activities, minimal scarring, reduced recovery time and less injury to tissue.

Due to the increase in volume of minimally invasive surgical procedures, the Department purchased a second da Vinci Surgical System, a high tech, computerenhanced system. Many faculty have long been using the robot. Oncologic urologic surgeons, as an example, have been performing robotic procedures since 2002.

They have developed the largest experience in Illinois to manage prostate, bladder and kidney cancer using laparoscopic and robotic techniques.

Among this group, pediatric urologist Mohan S.

Gundeti, MD, performed the first-ever robotic-assisted augmentation cystoplasty with appendicovesicostomy

(Mitrofanoff ). This is a reconstructive surgery for patients with a neurogenic bladder utilizing about

12–14 inches of the small intestine to increase the size of the bladder. The tip of the appendix, a hollow muscular tube, is then connected between the bladder and the skin of the lower abdomen to allow patients to drain the bladder. He invited his colleague, Gregory

Zagaja, MD, to assist on this complex procedure.

In the past year, Hisham Bassiouny, MD, has begun to use the robotic system to treat aortoiliac occlusive disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm, a condition which results from the expansion of a weakened aorta and can be fatal if the aorta ruptures. An investigational device exemption (IDE) from the FDA is under review for broader use of this technology in the minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic disease.

As a leader in robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery, the Department is on the cutting edge of new technology. Sudhir Srivastava, MD, has collaborative relationships with various companies to build new devices related to robotic cardiac surgery. Of particular note, he spent time in the lab developing a new imaging camera that is integrated into the robotic camera allowing the surgeon to see how well the graft is working during surgery. Typically, the surgeon would finish the graft and the patient would have a

CT-Angiogram following the operation to assess its effectiveness. This new technology would allow the surgeon to identify and repair any problems before the operation has concluded and the chest is closed.

Head and Neck Cancer surgeons Elizabeth Blair,

MD, Louis Portugal, MD, and Kerstin Stenson, MD, work closely with radiation and medical oncology to provide function-sparing multimodality treatment and reconstruction for patients with head and neck cancer.

They treat patients with all stages and types of head and neck cancers, including: cancers of the sinuses, mouth,

Marco Patti, MD, pictured in the new Motility Laboratory, is a world renowned surgeon who focuses exclusively on surgical techniques in treating benign and malignant esophageal diseases.

tongue, tonsils, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), salivary glands, upper esophagus, and advanced head and neck skin cancers. Dr. Stenson, Head and Neck

Program Director, has developed surgical approaches for patients with recurrent head and neck cancer as well as functional reconstructions. Additionally, Dr.

Blair has developed a new high risk oral cancer clinic and has ongoing clinical trials investigating novel technologies for early detection of oral cancer. Dr.

Portugal specializes in the latest diagnostic, treatment and surgical techniques for head and neck disorders.

In particular, he performs transnasal esophagoscopy, a minimally invasive technique, to examine the esophagus and perform biopsies.

Plastic surgeon David H. Song, MD, performs microsurgical breast reconstruction with DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator flap), an innovative technique that uses skin and fat but no muscle for breast reconstruction. This allows patients to recover and return to normal activities sooner and has less effect on abdominal strength. In addition, with the recent

5

6 recruitment of Julie E. Park, MD, a plastic surgeon with extensive training in reconstructive microsurgery and breast reconstruction, the Department will have the largest center for perforator breast reconstruction in the greater Chicago area.

The sports medicine program provides state-ofthe-art clinical care for athletes of all ages and skill levels, from professional players and school athletes to

“weekend warriors.” Michael Terry, MD, provides medical coverage for the Chicago Blackhawks, while

Sherwin Ho, MD, provides medical coverage for the

U.S. national women’s indoor volleyball team. Dr.

Ho recently traveled with the team to the World Cup in Japan and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Most recently, the Section has recruited J. Martin

Leland III, MD, who specializes in sports medicine injuries and previously provided medical coverage for the Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia Phillies and the

Philadelphia Marathon.

hepatobiliary, and esophageal cancers; and gene therapy for upper GI cancers.

Most recently, the University of Chicago Medical

Center opened the Center for Esophageal Diseases, one of the few centers in the United States solely dedicated to diagnosing and treating disorders of the esophagus.

These include: gastroesophageal reflux disease

(GERD), Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal achalasia, paraesophageal hernia, esophageal diverticulum, cancers of the esophagus as well as submucosal tumors of the esophagus. Directing this Center is Marco Patti,

MD, who was recruited this past year for his extensive expertise in the surgical treatment of esophageal disorders. Additionally, a Motility Laboratory is part of the Center for Esophageal Diseases. In this laboratory, state-of-the-art equipment is used to diagnose motility disorders and assess the severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Many of the Department’s sections have expanded their practices to outpatient settings, surgery centers and office locations throughout the greater Metropolitan area, including the western suburbs (Pediatric

Surgery), southern suburbs (Orthopaedics and OHNS), as well as Weiss Memorial Hospital (Ophthalmology,

Vascular Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Urology and

Orthopaedics).

For its advanced expertise and experience, the

Transplant Center at the University of Chicago Medical

Center received full unconditional accreditation for all solid organ programs from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Under the leadership of J.

Michael Millis, MD, it was the second center in the city and among the first twenty centers in the country to receive this designation. The Transplant Center has the largest heart transplant program in the state of Illinois and the most experienced multi-organ transplant center in the Midwest. The Center performed the first successful heart/liver/kidney transplant in the world in addition to being the first program to successfully perform a heart/kidney/pancreas transplant.

Increasingly, patient care is becoming a multidisciplinary experience. The Center for

Gastrointestinal Oncology, under the direction of

Mitchell C. Posner, MD (Surgical Oncology), Hedy L.

Kindler, MD (Medical Oncology), and Irving Waxman,

MD (Interventional Gastroenterology), continues to provide expertise in the diagnosis, treatment and management of a variety of complex cancers of the digestive system, including: rectal cancers, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and stomach cancers. Through innovative surgical procedures and medical treatments, physicians offer patients the highest chances of success against their disease. Some of the procedures include: minimally invasive esophagectomy; gastrectomy; pancreatectomy; hepatic resection; rectal resection; diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy for pancreatic,

In neurosurgery, the Pediatric Neurosciences Center, under the leadership of David Frim, MD, continues to offer a wide range of expertise from neurosurgery, neurology, neuro-oncology and neurogenetics to treat pediatric neuro-disorders, emphasizing hydrocephalus and congenital anomalies of the nervous system, epilepsy, and brain and spine tumors. The section recently recruited Ann Marie Flannery, MD, an internationally recognized pediatric neurosurgeon with expertise in minimally invasive endoscopic neurosurgery, craniofacial surgery and brain tumor surgery.

TRAINING FUTURE LEADERS

Surgical education and training is moving beyond the traditional model of “see one, do one, teach one” and transforming into a “practice before performance” model that delves into the technological realm of virtual environments and surgical simulation.

The University of Chicago Department of Surgery has inaugurated a state-of-the-art Laparoscopic Skills

Laboratory with an associated Minimal Access Surgery

(MAS) curriculum to enhance training in minimally invasive surgery. The new technology allows residents to become proficient in the basic skills and cognitive knowledge required to perform laparoscopic surgical procedures prior to entering the operating room.

However, “the broader, long-term goal is to establish a pattern of self-directed practice and continuous performance improvement that can be applied to

MAS as well as to the adoption of other novel surgical techniques, technologies and knowledge,” says Vivek

Prachand, MD, who has led the efforts to develop the

Lab.

The Lab features both inanimate and virtual reality simulators to allow residents to develop the skills used in laparoscopic surgery. These simulators include:

EndoTower — a virtual reality laparoscope simulator used to train residents and medical students in camera navigation

LapTrainer with Simuvision — inanimate trainers used for the majority of task practice

ProMIS — a hybrid virtual reality trainer that measures speed, accuracy and efficiency of standardized tasks using actual laparoscopic instrumentation to provide residents with feedback on their performance

ProMIS is a cutting edge technology system that simulates the environment within the abdominal cavity to assist students and residents in understanding the mechanics of laparoscopic surgery.

Right: Vivek Prachand, MD, (right) trains third year medical student Rebecca Wolsky (left) on the Endo Tower, a training system that simulates a laparoscopic camera used during surgery.

The curriculum is designed to develop proficiency using a combination of lectures, computer-based selfstudy, faculty-mentored training sessions and deliberate practice sessions at which trainees work at their own pace. Assessment of trainee progress compared to baseline performance will take place using simulatorbased and validated expert-based performance metrics.

Prior to beginning PGY-3, residents will demonstrate competency by obtaining certification from the

Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery program jointly developed by the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and the American

College of Surgeons (ACS). FLS Certification will be prerequisite for active participation in advanced laparoscopic procedures in the OR.

Residents will benefit from the expertise and mentorship of surgical faculty from across the

Department, including general surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, pediatric surgery, and transplantation.

Some of the faculty includes: John Alverdy, MD;

Alessandro Fichera, MD; Mark Ferguson, MD; Mohan

Gundeti, MD; Robert Harland, MD; Donald Liu, MD;

Sangtae Park, MD; Marco Patti, MD; Vivek Prachand,

MD; Arieh Shalhav, MD; and Kevin Zorn, MD.

In another technological innovation, the Department opened the Dennis and Claire Nardoni Surgical

Conference Center. This new facility is an interactive, multimedia, educational meeting and conference center with state-of-the-art technology and remarkable cross-communication capabilities including video conferencing and live feed connections to the operating rooms. The Conference Center was designed to enhance educational and collaborative interactions both internally and externally for students, residents and faculty.

Along with technology, collaborative relationships are transforming education and providing diverse training opportunities for medical students, residents and fellows. The University of Chicago Pritzker School of

Medicine and NorthShore University HealthSystem, previously known as Evanston Northwestern

Healthcare, have agreed on an academic affiliation that will make the NorthShore hospital locations in

Evanston, Glenbrook and Highland Park the primary off-site learning environment for University of Chicago medical students and residents.

This new affiliation pairs the strengths of the University of Chicago Medical Center, which has a sharp focus on complex care, biomedical science and distinguished programs, with those of the NorthShore system, which is one of the most fully integrated, multi-hospital, research and primary care organizations in the country.

Both institutions share a commitment to the highest levels of patient care and medical research, yet expose students and residents to different patient populations, hospital environments and operational systems.

students around the country. During the 2008-09 recruitment season, the Department’s six first-year general surgery residents matched in the top third of the highly competitive match list. This recruitment success has been equally strong in the Department’s other training programs in Cardiac and Thoracic

Surgery, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology and Visual

Science, Orthopaedic Surgery, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery,

Transplantation, Urology, and Vascular Surgery and

Endovascular Therapy.

The Department’s graduate medical education programs continue to be robust and competitive with all core programs receiving four or five year accreditation cycles. Interest in post-graduate surgical training programs remained at a high level as the

Department continued its successes in the national intern and resident matching program. As an example, the Department received 1,013 applications for the general surgery program from graduating medical

As part of the Department’s commitment to education and training, many faculty have taken on additional teaching responsibilities in the University of Chicago

Pritzker School of Medicine. Karl Matlin, PhD, for example, has taken on the role of Course Director of Molecular and Cell Biology. His outstanding leadership and innovative teaching has resulted in the course receiving its highest rating since 2005. Michael

Kathleen Goss, PhD, gives a presentation on the Department’s vast research opportunities to new surgical residents.

Simon, MD, and Colleen Ross, PhD, markedly expanded surgical faculty participation in the Human

Morphology course, bringing to life the value of gross anatomy to the practice of medicine.

Bringing together technology and anatomy,

Jonathan Silverstein, MD, MS, has served as the

Course Director of “Immersive Virtual Anatomy” through the Biological Sciences Division. Students learn fine anatomic details of the human body from high-resolution clinical volumetric data (e.g., computed tomography and magnetic resonance) via high-performance, interactive stereo visualization systems based on computer gaming boards. Students have responded favorably to this course, which has consistently received outstanding evaluations and enrollment requests from more than 40 students for a course originally designed for seven. Due to this high demand, Dr. Silverstein taught concurrent sessions in two rooms using simultaneous immersive displays and video communications, allowing an enrollment of 17 students. Eventually, Dr. Silverstein hopes to expand this course across multiple sites including other universities.

Moving beyond anatomy, the Department is committed to the education and practice of surgical ethics. As an example, J. Terry Ernest, MD, PhD, is teaching a bioethics course designed specifically for ophthalmologists to encourage students to look into themselves and others to evaluate their own beliefs and values as part of their lifelong process of growth and learning.

On a larger scale, the Department has collaborated with the University of Chicago MacLean Center for Clinical

Medical Ethics to develop the first formal Surgical

Ethics Fellowship Program with an accompanying seminar series. The one-year surgical ethics fellowship program, directed by Peter Angelos, MD, PhD, provides ethics training in research, teaching and clinical ethics consultations for a junior or mid-career surgeon.

Throughout the year, the program hosts a weekly seminar featuring local and national scholars in the field of surgical ethics. These lectures cover several big themes, including: surgical innovation and surgical research, commercialization of intellectual property in surgical innovation, solid organ and composite tissue transplantation, and the surgeon-patient relationship.

Already, several of the surgery faculty, residents and fellows have participated in the program. They included: Tina Desai, MD, Giuliano Testa, MD, Javad

Hekmat-Panah, MD, Jateen Prema, MD, and Amy

Lehman, MD.

PIONEERING NEW DISCOVERIES

Groundbreaking research has always been the cornerstone of the University of Chicago Department of Surgery, from Alexis Carrel, MD, the 1912 Nobel

Prize winner for vascular suturing and organ transplantation, to Charles B. Huggins, MD, the

1966 Nobel Prize winner for hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Moving forward today, the

Department is pursuing new avenues of research that foster discovery and transform the field of surgery.

Above right: Joel Collier, PhD, (right) and postdoctoral scholar

Jai Rudra, PhD, (left) conduct an assay to investigate the biocompatibility of newly developed biomaterials.

Carrie Rinker-Schaeffer, PhD, in collaboration with

John Alverdy, MD, and Bonnie Bassler, MD, (Princeton

University), is working on a novel line of research that applies a concept from microbiology to cancer metastasis.

They are currently investigating whether cancer cells forming a metastatic colony exhibit behavior that resembles bacterial quorum sensing, a process in which a single bacterium finds and communicates with other bacteria through local chemical messages and allows the bacteria to interact as a collective group rather than as individual units.

Should this prove to be the case in cancer behavior, it would represent a unique departure from current theory, which assumes that cancer cells work alone and that metastatic disease is caused by the most deadly cells. Given current statistics that 560,000 Americans will die this year from cancer (most from metastatic disease), understanding this cellular process could eventually translate into the development of targeted antimetastatic therapies and improved outcomes for patient survival.

Also in the tradition of innovative research, Christopher

Skelly, MD, has been investigating the role of a neurovirulence attenuated Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) to prevent arterial restenosis (the process by which arteries reclog after treatment due to an unregulated growth and movement of cells in the vessel). Most recently, he tested the effects of a genetically-engineereed R7020 herpes virus on the carotid artery following balloon angioplasty

(a procedure to open narrow or blocked blood vessels of the heart) and ligation-induced blood flow reduction.

Dr. Skelly found that the R7020 virus preferentially blocks the arterial restenosis caused by smooth muscle cells, while allowing the endothelial cell layer to re-form.

He further showed that the R7020 prevents the activation of cell death. These have resulted in a first-author publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of

Sciences as well as a new NIH K08 award. Additionally, with nearly one million Americans newly diagnosed with symptomatic peripheral vascular occlusive disease and one million angioplasty and stent procedures performed annually, this research could potentially translate into treatment to prevent injury to the arteries and thus, reduce the need for further intervention.

With the goal of moving promising treatments from benchside to bedside, the Laboratory of Molecular and

Regenerative Medicine has been established to discover novel techniques to regenerate human tissues using combinations of synthetic materials, cultured cells and gene delivery to treat a variety of human diseases.

Although in the early stages, some of the initial research themes of this group include: musculoskeletal regenerative medicine; craniofacial bone biology and healing; novel biomaterials design; wound healing and vascular biology; biomechanics and bioimaging as well as immune and inflammatory responses to engineered tissues.

Materials science provides the basic foundation and building blocks in the early phases of tissue regeneration.

Joel Collier, PhD, develops novel synthetic biomaterials from polymers and peptides (components of proteins) and

investigates ways to control their physical, chemical and biological properties. He designs these molecules so that they self-assemble into scaffolds (structures used to house cells that might develop into human tissue).

Dr. Collier’s work has already spurred early collaborations with Rex C. Haydon, MD, PhD, Tong-Chuan He, MD,

PhD, Hue H. Luu, MD, and Russell R. Reid, MD, PhD.

This team arranges progenitor cells on these scaffolds and uses growth factors, bone morphogenetic proteins

(BMPs), to influence the type of cell that would develop.

They discovered that BMP-9 has the strongest ability to stimulate bone formation. In collaboration with Daniel

Mass, MD, and Brian Toolan, MD, they also demonstrated that growth factors, such as BMP-13 and BMP-14, can effectively improve the tensile strength and biomechanical features of injured tendons and ligaments in animal models.

In an effort to discover the molecular events that lead to bone tumor development and metastasis, Drs. Haydon,

He and Luu have already identified the role of a panel of metastasis-associated genes and are characterizing their roles in cancer metastasis. They are also studying the effect of the bone marrow stromal microenvironment on tumor progression and metastasis. Additionally, they have recently received $1.7 million in NIH research funding, as part of a $6 million program grant in collaboration with the

University of Chicago Tang Center for Herbal Medicine

Research, to search for potential, novel chemotherapeutic and/or chemopreventive agents from natural products.

Dr. Reid has developed a new laboratory in Craniofacial

Biology and Development, funded by the Bernard G.

Sarnat endowment. Through his collaboration with

Drs. He, Haydon and Luu, Dr. Reid’s research focuses on the discovery of new bone regeneration techniques using mesenchymal stem cells, bone morphogenetic proteins, and other innovative stem cell stimulants, such as pulsed electromagnetic fields. The objective of this research is to apply these techniques to common clinical problems that affect the craniofacial skeleton, such as traumatic craniofacial defects, craniosynostosis and skeletal deficiency. One of the recent projects from his laboratory,

“Enhanced Osteogenic Capacity of Bone Precursor

Cells Transduced with Bone Morphogenetic Protein and

Human Telomerase,” has already received recognition and acclaim from the Plastic Surgery Research Council

(Crikelair Award, 2008).

Beyond bones, regeneration also has immense potential to assist with certain autoimmune disorders. As many as three million Americans may have Type I diabetes, a medical condition primarily caused by the autoimmunemediated destruction of beta cells. Each year over 15,000 children are diagnosed with diabetes in the United

States. Currently, the only cure for Type I diabetes is pancreas or islet transplantation. Anita Chong, PhD, is collaborating with Graeme Bell, PhD, (University of

Chicago Department of Medicine and Department of

Human Genetics) and Louis Philipson, MD, (University of Chicago Department of Medicine), on a unique line of diabetes research involving the restoration of betacell mass through beta cell regeneration to treat Type

I diabetes. This approach may circumvent the need for islet or pancreas transplantation, and might represent a potentially important approach to cure Type I diabetes.

Dr. Chong is also working on identifying clinically relevant strategies to control the immunological reactions that cause autoimmune Type I diabetes and the rejection of transplanted allogeneic islets.

A different facet of the Department’s research program fuses surgery with cutting-edge technological research.

A joint partnership between the University of Chicago

Department of Surgery and Argonne National Laboratory has resulted in the Bioengineering Institute for Advanced

Surgery and Endoscopy. “This is a unique collaboration that will fuel a pipeline of discoveries that will enhance the delivery of treatment and care within and outside the operating room,” says John Alverdy, MD, who spearheaded this initiative.

Research from the institute will focus on developing:

Enhanced visualization techniques that will incorporate near-real-time computer simulation and principles of physics, such as heat transfer and fluid dynamics. These techniques will take threedimensional imaging to the next level and enhance the planning and execution of surgeries.

Advanced instruments (e.g., robotics, “smart” instruments) that will contain wireless components to provide real-time data to surgeons. These instruments have the potential to improve surgical precision and enable procedures that are currently not feasible.

Biomaterials that will be particularly beneficial in developing targeted treatment of bacterial infections and creating frictionless surfaces for structural implants.

The Department hopes to integrate these concepts and devices into the design and instrumentation of the New

Hospital Pavilion. Currently, the institute features a fully functional simulation laboratory for students and residents to perform virtual surgery. It also has a core research team consisting of two University of Chicago surgery research fellows and two postdoctoral Argonne fellows.

They will be housed in a state-of-the art laboratory on the University of Chicago campus with AccessGrid, a technology that allows for group-to-group interaction via multimedia large-format displays and interactive environments for data streaming. Therefore, this unique environment is ripe for training, education and groundbreaking discoveries.

Increasingly, technology is providing exceptional opportunities not only to advance surgical practice, but also address relevant social issues for patients. Dana L.

Suskind, MD, is conducting research to address health disparities among children from a lower socio-economic status (SES) who received a cochlear implant to treat sensorineural hearing loss (nerve deafness), a condition that affects approximately 1–2 per 1,000 children.

Children from a lower SES face more barriers when it comes to post-implant rehabilitation to successfully hear and understand language. These barriers include: access to quality rehabilitative programs as well as parental communication skills, self-efficacy and health literacy.

To address these issues, Dr. Suskind designed a parentdirected, educational intervention called Project

ASPIRE (Achieving Superior Parental Involvement for

Rehabilitative Excellence). The goal of Project ASPIRE is to educate and empower parents so they can help their children reach their listening, speaking and understanding potential. Project ASPIRE is an interactive, multimedia

DVD program conducted in a group setting that utilizes a “best-practices” curriculum intended to increase parental understanding of the components necessary for a child’s post-implant success, to demonstrate their own importance to that success and to supply the knowledge and skills to help assure that success.

The weekly interactive DVD program will include an animated introduction, parent-child videos which demonstrate methods ‘in action,’ relevant songs to assist with concept recall and a simple video game to solidify the lesson. Additionally, to facilitate the needs of this diverse population, the animated modules can be translated into any language and the parent-child videos will include families of diverse ethnicity and children at different ages.

BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

Committed to transforming the health and well-being of patients, the University of

Chicago Department of Surgery is creating positive changes in communities here and across the world.

Locally, the Department is developing ways to participate in the Urban Health Initiative, a partnership between the University of Chicago Medical Center and community doctors, clinics and hospitals to improve the long-term health of South Side residents in Chicago. These opportunities may include more convenient clinic sites for treatment of glaucoma, tonsils and hernias.

Globally, many faculty donate their time and advanced clinical expertise to treating patients living in countries that have little or no access to adequate health care, let alone surgical care. They are also equipping physicians in these countries with the latest surgical techniques and knowledge to continue treating more patients.

research in trachoma, a leading cause of infectious blindness worldwide with an incidence reaching 40 percent of children in parts of Africa.

In addition, faculty members have traveled to the

Caribbean and Latin America. David Song, MD, an active volunteer and member of the Board of Directors for the Medical Aid for Children of Latin America, travels annually to the Dominican Republic with a team of plastic surgery residents to provide free surgical care for children with congenital deformities, such as cleft lips and palates, burn scar contractures and other correctable physical deformities. Dr. Song’s team typically examines over 900 patients and treats over 200 patients each trip.

Mark Greenwald, MD, Susan Ksiazek, MD, and resident Megan Collins, MD, consulted with colleagues on patients and observed surgery while on a volunteer trip in Warsaw, Poland. Meanwhile, their colleague,

Michael Saidel, MD, traveled to Ethiopia to conduct

Over the past two years, Bassem Mora, MD, MBA, has volunteered his time and worked with local cardiac surgeons in both the Dominican Republic and Syria to perform corrective and palliative operations for congenital heart disease. He has taken a number of

University of Chicago practitioners on those trips, including pediatric intensivists, anesthesiologists, perfusionists and nurses from Comer Children’s

Hospital.

Through the auspices of Health Volunteers Overseas,

Daniel Mass, MD, and hand fellow Ruth Baer, MD, treated hand patients in Lima, Peru. Hand problems in this country range from carpal tunnel to complex untreated trauma and congenital hand anomalies. Drs.

Mass and Baer were able to perform approximately

20 procedures, including a pollicization, several muscle transfers for brachial plexus palsies, trauma reconstructions after crush injuries as well as tendon transfers for nerve palsies. Another component of this trip involved training local physicians interested in hand surgery. Topics ranged from rheumatoid arthritis, tendon transfers, wrist arthroscopies, distal radius fractures, trauma reconstruction and replantation.

Heading east, Valluvan Jeevanandam, MD, travels a few times a year to a charity hospital in Puthaparthi,

India (near Bangalore) for a period of two to three weeks providing free cardiac surgery, with an emphasis on complex cases. On these trips, he typically performs about 20 charity cases per week. Without Dr.

Jeevanandam’s help, most patients cannot afford the care they need, often face a life expectancy of less than one year and have no other treatment options.

While surgical treatment is a vital aspect of this trip,

Dr. Jeevanandam realized that training and education could produce more good work. “Initially, I started performing operations for charity, but then I realized that more substantial gains would be produced if I helped the surgeons expand their skills and knowledge base,” says Dr. Jeevanandam. “By teaching them to do the more complex surgeries, they are able to serve many more patients than I can on my own.”

SHAPING PATIENT CARE

Advancing surgical care has always been the hallmark of the University of Chicago Department of Surgery.

TRAINING FUTURE LEADERS

Surgical education and training is moving beyond the traditional model of “see one, do one, teach one” and transforming into a “practice before performance” model that delves into the technological realm of virtual environments and surgical simulation.

PIONEERING NEW DISCOVERIES

Groundbreaking research has always been the cornerstone of the University of Chicago Department of Surgery, from Alexis Carrel, MD, the 1912 Nobel

Prize winner for vascular suturing and organ transplantation, to Charles B. Huggins, MD, the

1966 Nobel Prize winner for hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Moving forward today, the

Department is pursuing new avenues of research that foster discovery and transform the field of surgery.

BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

Committed to transforming the health and well-being of patients, the University of

Chicago Department of Surgery is creating positive changes in communities here and across the world.
