 Mount Sinai's Division of General & Vascular Surgery is on the forefront of surgical advances to improve patient care. Pioneering new techniques in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, the division attracts patients from all over the United States and the world. Our vascular surgeons apply the latest equipment and minimally invasive techniques to perform endovascular (within the blood vessels) treatment of diseases in all arterial regions, including carotid artery disease and other issues. A full staff of highly qualified and recognized general surgeons performs all types of "open" surgery, including liver resections, pancreatectomies and many types of major abdominal operations.
