The Division of Surgery comprises 14 different departments, each with its own proud legacy of patient care, research and education. We are pleased to have an international reputation based upon singular attention to every patient, and comprehensive and compassionate treatment options.

With access to leading-edge technology, surgeons in the Cleveland Clinic Division of Surgery are making critical advances in patient care. We have made it our goal to seek the least invasive approach to every disease condition. Using advanced imaging techniques, and precision laparoscopic instruments, we have been able to replace many major open surgeries with minimally invasive procedures.

Our notable capabilities include deep brain stimulation – the use of pacemaker-like devices to modify abnormal brain activity, and treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders.

The cornerstones of The Cleveland Clinic are quality, innovation, teamwork and service. It is the ambition of every member of the Division of Surgery to personify these principles in their daily activities. Attention to these ideals enables us to provide the most compassionate and effective care, to offer service that exceeds expectations, and to restore our patients to optimum health and the enjoyment of life.

Dr. Kenneth Ouriel, M.D., Chairman, Division of Surgery
