General Surgery

NYU Langone general surgeons provide world-class care for a wide range of conditions, from the most common to the highly challenging and complex. Our team offers surgical solutions for conditions affecting the abdomen and digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, liver, appendix, and pancreas, as well as diseases of the adrenal gland.

We perform surgeries in Manhattan at NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion, in Brooklyn at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, and on Long Island at NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk.

NYU Langone Health is ranked No. 1 in patient safety and quality in the United States, reflecting our commitment to patient care. Our general surgeons are highly skilled in open, minimally invasive, and robotic-assisted surgery. Whenever appropriate, they use bloodless techniques to minimize the use of donor blood products. The team also has surgical expertise in the treatment of benign and malignant conditions, including tumors of the stomach and colon.

These are some of the procedures we perform most often:

• appendectomy
• complex hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction
• fundoplasty or fundoplication, to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• gallbladder removal
• inguinal and umbilical hernia repair
• paraesophageal hernia repair
• upper endoscopy
• wound care, including debridement

Our surgeons are part of renowned NYU Langone specialty centers and programs, including the Abdominal Core Health Program, Adrenal Surgery Program, Bloodless Medicine and Surgery Program, Center for Esophageal Health, Robotic Surgery Center, and the Pancreatic Cancer Center at NYU Langone’s Perlmutter Cancer Center.
