Colon & Rectal Surgery at the University of Louisville

Surgical Case List

One of the most important factors in deciding where to apply for a fellowship is the scope of experience provided by an institution. The Section of Colon & Rectal Surgery at the University of Louisville draws patients from a large geographical area. Because of this, we offer fellows extensive hands-on clinical experience.

During 2010, we performed 1,629 surgical procedures—not including operations and endoscopies performed at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. A list of these procedures follows.
