Surgery Services

With state-of-the-art facilities and highly trained, experienced surgeons, Loyola University Health System (Loyola) represents the best in surgical care. Two key surgical programs are recognized for excellence. The trauma center was the first in Illinois to achieve designation as an American College of Surgeons Level 1 Trauma Center. The Burn Center was first in the state to be verified by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons for compliance with national standards.

In response to patients’ needs, Loyola surgeons co-develop and participate in multidisciplinary services so patients can receive treatment from various specialists at one site. These services include the Breast Care Center, Gastrointestinal Motility Clinic, Hand Clinic, Spinal Trauma Service and Wound Management Clinic.
