Welcome to the Department of Surgery at the University of Cincinnati. We are delighted to have you visit our website to learn more about us. We are focused on our commitment to provide the best possible specialist surgical care to Cincinnati and the Midwest, to train the next generation of Cincinnati surgeons and to shape the surgical practice of tomorrow through innovative biomedical research.

We have successfully expanded our faculty to enhance our clinical, research and educational capabilities in the areas of cardio-thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, pediatric surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, trauma/critical care surgery, epithelial pathobiology, sepsis and inflammation, and vascular biology. The combination of our new talent and our existing faculty has enabled us to introduce innovative programs in cardiac surgery, islet cell transplantation, lung cancer screening, morbid obesity surgery, and minimally invasive surgery for the liver, kidney, and prostate.

In addition, we are committed to increasing diversity in medicine and to serving the community as a resource for specialized surgical care and information. This is evidenced by our efforts to increase awareness of opportunities in academic medicine and to meet the needs of area physicians and patients. Our faculty support area physicians with continuing surgical education classes, invitations to observe and be exposed to new techniques, consult on complex cases and serve as the referral point for treating patients with challenging needs.
Again, thank you for taking the time to visit our website. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me or any member of our faculty.

Jeffrey B. Matthews, M.D.
