Gregory Dumanian, MD, has been a member of the Northwestern community since
1996 and in December of 2010 the Department of Surgery was proud to announce him as the Chief of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Dumanian‘s training and expertise,
particularly in breast and hand surgery, have positioned him well to lead the Division, but also enabled him to pursue a unique opportunity to blend his clinical and
research interests.
Gregory A. Dumanian, MD
Chief, Division of Plastic Surgery
Over dinner with Todd Kuiken, MD, PhD, Director of the Center for Bionic Medicine
at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) and Professor of Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation at the Feinberg School of Medicine, they discussed Dr. Kuiken‘s
research in amplifying and making useful the electric signal of a divided nerve in
the amputated limbs in rats. Together, they created a way in which an amputee
could simply use intuition to activate his or her muscles and, therefore, the prosthetic, by simply thinking about the action that he or she wants to perform. The
procedure itself would be relatively simple; by transferring the amputated nerves to
the small motor nerve entering a muscle segment, the important nerve signal
would be amplified by the muscle and could be used to directly control a prosthetic
device.
The synergy between Dr. Dumanian‘s understanding and comfort with human anatomy, particularly the chest and peripheral nerve system, and Dr. Kuiken‘s experience in engineering became immediately apparent and resulted in the creation
of a new procedure - Targeted Reinnervation. An idea that was discussed over dinner quickly became an innovative procedure that is now available to upper extremity amputees.
The first Targeted Reinnervation procedure took place in 2002 with 55-year old electrician, Jesse Sullivan, who lost both of
his arms following an electrical shock accident. With Jesse‘s hard work, the success of the procedure far exceeded their
expectations. Their second patient, Claudia Mitchell, a 23-year old former Marine who lost her arm in a motorcycle accident, phoned Dr. Kuiken after reading about Jesse‘s success story in Popular Science. The overwhelming success of this
operation has resulted in the attainment of several grants, allowing this surgery to be performed on 30 patients worldwide
with an astounding 95% success rate in achieving meaningful nerve signals following a nerve transfer. Today, Targeted
Reinnervation has been featured in many publications, including the New Yorker Magazine and the Lancet, to name a few.
The future of Targeted Reinnervation is bright. The research collected on upper extremity prosthetics is being used to develop osseointegrated prostheses at the RIC and here at Northwestern. The wound healing lab of Drs. Mustoe and Galiano
is critical in understanding the complex biofilms that develop at the site where the metal stem of the prosthesis enters the
skin. The Department is optimistic about the scientific advancements that will develop from this innovative procedure and
looks forward to the growth that the Division of Plastic Surgery will undoubtedly achieve under Dr. Dumanian‘s leadership.

The Surgical Scope
Message From the Chair:
Nathaniel J. Soper, MD
Loyal and Edith Davis Professor and Chair
Department of Surgery
Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine
The vision of the Northwestern University Department of Surgery is ―Safer Surgery Today,
Better Surgery Tomorrow‖, and this statement
embodies the emphases placed on our clinical
and academic activities. Patients are placed at
the center of what we do on a daily basis. In
order to enhance safety, we must measure our
activities, determining current surgical outcomes
and taking steps to improve them. The concept
of ‗better surgery‘ is multipronged, starting with
innovation and investigation and culminating in
the transmission of the knowledge thus gained
to the next generation of surgeons. This endeavor is our passion and raison d‘être. This
iterative process is always a journey and never a
hard-stop destination.
Academic departments of surgery are constantly
in a state of flux. Highly qualified individuals will
often be recruited away by other academic departments on the lookout for rising stars. New
faculty will be recruited to strengthen and expand the tri-pronged portfolio of medical scholarship. The past year has witnessed several major
changes in the department. Dixon Kaufman was
recruited to the University of Wisconsin to assume the role of Chief of the Division of Transplantation. It was immediately apparent who
should fill his large shoes as Vice-Chair of Research: Melina Kibbe took on this important
position in March and has had an immediate
positive impact in the organization of our research program. Mark Eskandari was promoted
to the post of Chief of the Division of Vascular
Surgery following Bill Pearce‘s long tenure in the
position. Greg Dumanian was elevated to be
Chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and will have an equally difficult
Page 2
task living up to the example of his predecessor,
Tom Mustoe. After 4 years in the dual roles of
Chair and Program Director of the General Surgery residency, I resigned from the latter position
in April. Jonathan Fryer assumed the Program
Director role while continuing to be an active
transplant surgeon and progressing in his
coursework towards a Master‘s of Health Professions Education degree. Jeff Wayne, in turn,
was named an Associate Program Director for
the General Surgery residency. Amy Halverson
became the Associate Clerkship Director for the
third-year NU medical student program replacing
Susan Santacaterina who was recruited away to
direct medical programs at Malcolm X City College. Nabil Issa was recently named as the director of a newly developed subinternship for 4th
year medical students. Jeff, Amy and Nabil will
be pursuing advanced degrees in education as
part of their commitment to advancing our department‘s scholarship and expertise in surgical
education. Many moving pieces, indeed, but (in
homage to Jim Collins), we definitely have the
right people on the bus!
Congratulations to the faculty members who
were promoted to the following academic ranks
this year: Alex Nagle, Associate Professor; Cord
Sturgeon, Associate Professor; David Bentrem,
Associate Professor; Melina Kibbe, received
Tenure; Talia Baker, Associate Professor; John
Kim, Associate Professor; Edward McGee, Associate Professor; Mark Eskandari, Professor.
Several new faculty members will be joining us
this year. Karl Bilimoria, a graduate of our general surgery residency program, will be returning
to Chicago after performing a clinical oncology
fellowship at M.D. Anderson. In addition to clinical work involving breast and soft tissue tumors,
he will be developing a major program in surgical outcomes research, both at the hospital level
and in collaboration with the American College
of Surgeons. Steven Schwulst just finished a
critical care fellowship at Washington University
and will join our Division of Trauma/Critical Care.
He plans to pursue a basic science research
program in the area of leukocyte apoptosis in
sepsis in addition to his clinical duties. Mike
McGee completed a colorectal surgery fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic, and will add to our
rapidly growing group of colorectal surgeons,
specializing in minimally invasive approaches to
diseases of the colon and rectum, while pursuing a Masters Degree in Clinical Investigation.
Finally, Jason Wertheim will join the Division of
Transplantation after completing a transplantation fellowship at UCLA. With a biomedical engineering Ph.D. degree, he will spearhead an
effort in collaboration with the McCormick
School of Engineering in the area of bioartificial
organs. We welcome these new faculty members, who will energize our progress towards our
goals.
The Northwestern University Department of
Surgery was primarily known for its clinical activities for many years. Over the last decade, and
with increasing momentum over the past five
years, the research program has significantly
grown in breadth and depth. Many of the faculty
are involved in cutting-edge investigations of
new, less invasive surgical procedures. One
example is Eric Hungness, who is one of only a
handful of surgeons in the U.S. performing the
POEM operation—Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy-for achalasia. This is a novel procedure in which
an endoscope is passed through the mucosa of
the proximal esophagus, creating a submucosal
tunnel to the esophagogastric junction, and
used to cut the inner circular muscle layer of the
lower esophageal sphincter. Early results with
the technique have been promising, and physiologic results are being assessed using novel
techniques being developed in collaboration
with the robust group of esophagologists in our
swallowing center, notably Peter Kahrilas and
John Pandolfino. In addition to clinical research,
faculty members are actively pursuing research
in more traditional basic or translational venues.
In the past 5 years, federal grant awards have
increased by over 100% and the federal research costs have increased by a whopping
375%! Each year the NIH ranks departments of
surgery on their NIH funding; in 2006, the NU
Department of Surgery ranked 56th, whereas in
2011 we were ranked 15th. Each year, four of
the five categorical general surgery residents
enter a two year research track and virtually all
go on to advanced fellowships post-residency.
The effort to create a more clinically integrated
medical center continues to advance. Given the
external pressures and mandates currently
being envisioned in the medical profession as
well as a sense of disconnection between the
faculty and hospital, discussions are underway
to change the structure and governance of
‗Northwestern Medicine‘. This process is likely to
cause turbulence and necessitate a fundamental change in the way we conduct business. We
are also in the midst of a search for a new dean
of the Feinberg School of Medicine, and hopefully will recruit a candidate who can be intimately involved in the change process. We look
forward to the coming year with anticipation and
hope that we will arrive at a rational governance
structure with true integration that allows Northwestern Medicine to be much more than the
sum of its parts.

Healthcare. The 2011/12 Lynn Sage Breast Fellows who began on July 1 are Lisa R. Spiguel, MD who is finishing her residency at
the University of Chicago and Christine M. Gresik, MD who is finishing her residency at Loyola University.
Clinical Care
Intraoperative Radiation Therapy:
The Breast Surgeons at the Lynn Sage Comprehensive Breast Center are currently utilizing a new treatment option for breast cancer
that allows women to receive a full dose of radiation therapy during breast conserving surgery. Traditionally, women who opt to have
a lumpectomy must first have surgery then undergo approximately six weeks of radiation. Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT)
combines lumpectomy and the full course of radiation during a two and half hour operation. Instead of waiting a month to start the
radiation therapy, it will take place immediately. A patient will wake up from surgery and have received the full amount of radiation
therapy that is typically administered over six weeks.
Breast Center Patient Navigator
Lynn Elsen-Galuska, RN has been hired for the position of Breast Center Patient Navigator. Her role will be to work with breast cancer
patients as they go from their initial visit and consultation through their surgery and selected therapies. She works closely with the
members of the new Supportive Oncology Department of the Maggie Daley Women‘s Cancer Center located on the 5 th floor of Prentice Women‘s Hospital.

The transition to new house staff is always a good time to take a step back and consider what has been accomplished in the last
year; the highlight of the new faculty and a focus on new clinical programs in GI surgery. The Gastrointestinal and Surgical Oncology
Division is expanding with 2 new surgeons.
Dr. Karl Bilimoria has returned to Northwestern‘s Department of Surgery as an Assistant Professor in Surgical Oncology. He obtained
his undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and his medical degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine. Dr.
Bilimoria has been a research fellow at the NIH and the American College of Surgeons. He completed his General Surgery training at
Northwestern and then went on to a Surgical Oncology Fellowship at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. His clinical focus will be in
melanoma, sarcoma, and breast cancer.
Dr. Michael McGee is joining the Department of Surgery as an Assistant Professor in Colorectal Surgery. He comes to us from the
Cleveland Clinic where he completed a Colorectal Surgery Clinical Fellowship. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Drexel
University and his medical degree from Drexel University School of Medicine. He completed his general surgery residency training at
Case Western Reserve University/Case Medical Center. Dr. McGee‘s research interests include Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and outcomes of patients with benign and malignant colorectal disease.
Clinical Care
We will complete the construction of the Northwestern Digestive Disease Institute in the next few weeks. This project is a collaborative venture of the Department of Surgery and the Department of Medicine. The clinical operations of our division and the GI Medicine Division will be integrated in this space. This will allow our esophageal surgeons to work side by side with their collaborators in
GI manometry, our pancreatic surgeons to work side by side with our interventional GI specialists and our bariatric surgeons to work
side by side with their colleagues in lifestyle medicine. The clinical research operations of both groups will be integrated into this
new center over the next year. We hope this will allow patients with complex GI diseases to make one trip to our campus and leave
with an integrated plan of care.
Education/ Research
We recently expanded our NUvention medical innovations course (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4aX21i5ww0) to include a fellowship
program housed in the Department of Surgery. Our first fellow, Dan McCarthy, MD began on July 1. Dan has completed 3 years of
clinical surgical training and will be working with engineers at the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern and will also
fulfill an internship at Cook Medical this summer. We plan to recruit one surgeon and one biomedical engineer each year for a 2 year
experience.

Innovation through Collaboration at the Intersection of Diverse Disciplines
Academic year 2011 was a successful year for the transplant surgery division and the Comprehensive Transplant Center as we strive to fulfill our
stated mission: to reach the pinnacle of academic excellence such that the transplant center at Northwestern is considered synonymous with best
clinical practice, high-impact innovative basic/translational/clinical research, and most desirable teaching/training programs in all areas of transplantation. Across this mission, the program succeeded in uniting experts at the intersections of diverse disciplines to advance transplant-related
education, research, and clinical care.
Research
The Northwestern University Transplant Outcomes Research Collaborative (NUTORC), embedded in the Comprehensive Transplant Center, has been
a tremendous success by any measure. Working with partners from FSM, the school of engineering, the EDW, the Kellogg school, and the Heller
School of Health Policy at Brandeis, NUTORC has built six strong workgroups. In its first 28 months, 43 grants have been submitted with 15 awarded
and four still under review. 41 manuscripts have been published, with an additional 21 in review or near submission. Also, 104 abstracts have been
presented at major national meetings. At this year‘s American Transplant Congress, the leading scientific meeting for transplantation, NUTORC
emerged and was recognized as one of the world‘s leading transplant research engines.(See excerpt on the following page.)
Hoping to emulate the success of NUTORC, the transplant program has formed a similar
collaboration in the basic sciences, that includes ongoing efforts in immunobiology and
nascent collaborations with biomedical engineers at McCormick. The Northwestern University Collaborative for Transplant Research in Immunobiology and Biomedical Engineering
(NUCTRIBE) will identify research opportunities where transplantation intersects with immunobiology, chemistry, and engineering uniting the transplant-related efforts in cellular
and molecular immunology, gene expression and bioengineering, to enhance existing collaborations as well as building new ones. In the past year, we have focused on gene expression, including genetics, genomics and proteomics, leveraging relationships with the
Scripps Institute, RBM, CGM, and the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute in genomics,
and resources made possible through a major grant from the NIH. In the coming year, we
will focus on the development of a program in bioartificial tissues and organs. Two major
recruitments were completed in support of these goals. First, Charles Jie PhD, was recruited from Johns Hopkins University jointly with the Center for Genetic Medicine to support our gene expression research. Second, Jason Wertheim MD PhD, a UCLA-transplant
surgeon, University of Pennsylvania-trained immunologist, and MIT-trained biomedical engineer, was recruited to lead the program in bioartificial tissues and organs. Finally, Xunrong
Luo MD PhD, assumed the role as Director of our islet cell transplant program in succession to Dixon Kaufman MD PhD who left Northwestern after an 18 year tenure to become
the Chief of the transplant division at the University of Wisconsin. The transition was
smooth allowing us to retain important funding for islet cell research at Northwestern.

Education and Training
Directed by Dr. Jonathan Fryer, who was named program director for the general surgery
residency and chair of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS) curriculum
committee, the division‘s education infrastructure continues to support three clinical fellowships and the NIH-funded Transplant Scientist Training Program, a T32 training grant
in the division of transplant surgery with two post-doctoral positions per year, submitted
for a competitive renewal this year with a third position requested. One of the trainees,
Dr. Colleen Jay, completed her surgical training in the Department of Surgery and
matched into a transplant surgery fellowship at Mayo, Rochester. In addition, this year,
Dr. Fryer‘s American Society of Transplant Surgeons‘ curriculum committee unveiled its
―Academic Universe‖, an online database of 103 educational modules on specific educational objectives. Northwestern transplant faculty in surgery, nephrology, hepatology, and
immunology led the curriculum development and contributed more content to this resource than any other transplant program in the U.S.
Clinical Care
The multi-organ transplant program continues to be a leader in Illinois, and one of the top
programs nationally. Our volumes and outcomes continue to allow us to rank in the top 23 programs nationally (1 percentile). More specifically, Northwestern continued to be a
national leader in living donor transplantation, both for liver and kidney transplantation.
The program‘s success is fueled in large part by clinical innovation achieved in great part
as a result of true interdisciplinary integration. Having led international efforts in minimally invasive surgery, steroid-free immunosuppression, and calcineurin inhibitor avoidance, the program this year became the first in the world to achieve operational tolerance
in two clinical trials of kidney transplantation, led by Joshua Miller, MD and Joseph Leventhal, MD, PhD, director of the kidney and pancreas transplant programs.
Comprehensive Transplant Center
Researchers Shine at American
Transplant Congress (Excerpt)
May 1-4, the American Society of Transplant
Surgeons (ASTS) and American Society of
Transplantation (AST) held their joint annual
scientific meeting, the American Transplant
Congress (ATC). CTC faculty were extremely
visible at the meeting, as presenters of 23
posters and 26 oral presentations/symposia.
CTC faculty were authors or co-authors on 4
plenary addresses which attracted significant
attention.
Dr. Michael Abecassis, Professor of Surgery
and Founding Director of the CTC, finished
his term as President of the ASTS, and
delivered his presidential address: ―The
Luster Cycle of Transplantation‖ in which he
delivered an impassioned plea to transplant
scientists to help the field of transplantation
remain -- as it has been -- one of the most
exciting and innovative medical subspecialties. He laid out his vision of a path
forward that includes not only short term
plans to improve immunosuppression and
achieve immune tolerance, but also a grand
long-term vision of personalized medicine
based on advanced proteomic and genomic
analysis and of bio-engineering of organs and
tissues to overcome the organ shortage that
has long plagued the field and left tens of
thousands of patients to die on waiting lists.
Dr. Joshua Miller, Professor of Surgery and
Head of the Immune Monitoring and
Tolerance research program for the CTC, was
awarded the ASTS-Genentech/Roche Pioneer
Award. This award is the highest honor the
ASTS gives and recognizes Dr. Miller‘s
pioneering work in transplantation surgery,
most notably his work toward transplant
tolerance. It is fitting that Dr. Miller received
this award just as two CTC trials, his NIHfunded study of sibling donor-recipient pairs
and Dr. Joseph Leventhal‘s collaboration with
the University of Louisville, have
demonstrated induced operational tolerance
in multiple patients.

Plastic Surgery Update
Dr. Dumanian assumed the role of chief in December 2010. Dr. Mustoe completed 19 years as chief, bringing the residency and Northwestern Plastic Surgery to the forefront of academic plastic surgery in the nation. The division is on an active course of growth of the full-time
faculty, with recruits in the pipeline for microsurgery/breast reconstruction and peripheral nerve/hand surgery. The division is also assisting
the faculty at Children‘s Memorial Hospital to recruit a new chief in pediatric plastic surgery.
Research
The internationally known laboratory in wound healing begun by Dr. Mustoe and maintained currently by Drs. Mustoe and Galiano has undergone continued growth in terms of funding, laboratory space, and personnel. Current areas of interest include how complex biofilms produced by bacteria impede wound healing and eradication of the infection. This work has been of great interest to the military and funding
from the Department of Defense is ongoing. Dr. Kim is the PI on a national project on breast reconstruction. Resident funding in the laboratory has been aided by the third national award for research to the housestaff won over the last 4 years for their research year. Translational
research is being performed with the added input of a biomedical engineer in the laboratory.
Education
The division has begun to prepare for its first site visit in 4 years which will occur in later in 2012. An internet-based portfolio system was
instituted for residents to remember and reflect on cases performed throughout the year. The majority of the information is stored as images on a secure hospital server. The first annual plastic surgery resident research day and alumni reunion took place on June 10. All 14
residents presented laboratory and clinical projects performed over the previous year. Dr. Jason Ko, graduating chief resident, won the competition for his work and presentation on the use of statins to decrease hypertrophic scar formation. In attendance was Dr. Harold Griffith,
previous chief of the service before Thomas Mustoe.
A new rotation at the Stroger/Cook County Hospital for the PGY-5 residents began July 1. The residents will perform general reconstruction,
hand surgery, and maxillofacial trauma surgery there. This rotation has required a reorganization of rotations performed by the upper 4 years
of housestaff.
Clinical Care
Clinical volume and acuity in the various branches of plastic surgery, namely microsurgical reconstruction, head and neck surgery, hand surgery, aesthetics, and general reconstruction remain high.

Bottom row left to right: Dr. Alberto de Hoyos, Dr. Robert Vanecko, Dr. Malcolm DeCamp, Dr. Shari Meyerson
In October, the Division welcomed Dr. Shari Meyerson to Northwestern as an Associate Professor of Surgery. Dr. Meyerson came to the Division from Tucson where she was the Director of General Thoracic Surgery at the University of
Arizona. She completed both her medical education and general surgery training at the University of Chicago Pritzker
School of Medicine followed by a residency in Thoracic Surgery at Duke University. Dr. Meyerson adds to the Division‘s strength in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Her research interests focus on resident and postgraduate
education and the development and validation of simulation.
Dr. Colin Gillespie joined the Division as an interventional pulmonologist in January of 2011. Dr. Gillespie‘s primary
appointment is as an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine with a
co-appointment as Assistant Professor of Surgery. Hailing from Chicago, Dr. Gillespie received his MD from the Chicago Medical School and his internal medicine, pulmonary medicine and interventional pulmonary training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) in Philadelphia. Following an international fellowship in rigid bronchoscopy in Marseilles, France, Dr. Gillespie joined the HUP faculty in 2007.
Dr. DeCamp, Chief of Thoracic Surgery, continues to focus on elevating the Division through development of multidisciplinary programs in thoracic oncology, swallowing disorders and advanced lung diseases.

Research
In the past year, the Division enrolled 36 patients in the ProvenCare Lung Cancer Collaborative. Northwestern was selected as
one of six U.S. institutions to participate in this study, which is sponsored by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Commission on Cancer and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). This pilot trial aims to define evidence-based best practices in
lung cancer care and to examine if reliably adhering to these standards results in improved outcomes and lower cost.
Led by Dr. Alberto de Hoyos, the Division is participating in a novel study co-sponsored by the American College of Surgeons
Oncology Group (ACOSOG) and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) comparing sublobar resection to stereotactic
body radiation therapy for high-risk patients with early-stage lung cancer.
Both Dr. Meyerson (VATS lobectomy) and Dr. de Hoyos (rigid bronchoscopy) have ongoing research protocols to validate their
surgical simulators. Using their innovative simulators as well as resources available in NU‘s Center for Simulation Technology
and Immersive Learning, these investigators are creating a simulation curriculum for general surgical and thoracic surgical
residents.
Education
The 7th Annual Thoracic Surgical Oncology Nursing Conference was held on April 7, 2011.
The 18th Annual Thomas W. Shields Lecture was held on May 19, 2011. The guest lecturer, Dr. David Jones from University of
Virginia, spoke about the introduction of molecularly-targeted therapies for lung cancer by surgeons.
Thoracic Surgery faculty has worked closely with Cardiac Surgery colleagues to enhance the general thoracic clinical and didactic curriculum for our traditional ACGME-approved fellowship. We have also created a collaborative, integrated 6-year curriculum (I-6 program) leading to cardiothoracic board certification targeted at graduating medical students. Northwestern‘s I-6
Cardiothoracic program received RRC approval in January 2011 allowing us to successfully participate in this year‘s match.
Our first I-6 intern, Dr. Danielle Smith of Northwestern‘s Feinberg School of Medicine, entered the program July 2011.
Clinical Care
The Division continues to build the Thoracic Oncology program as a collaboration of multiple disciplines. Over the past year,
Thoracic Surgery has successfully integrated with Medical Oncology, Pulmonary Medicine, and Radiation Oncology to create a
multidisciplinary thoracic oncology presence. In addition to the arrival of Dr. Shari Meyerson, the Program welcomed the following Faculty to this team: Dr. Colin Gillespie (Interventional Pulmonology), Dr. Melissa Johnson (Hematology-Oncology), and
Dr. Minesh Mehta (Radiation Oncology).
In March 2011, Dr. DeCamp began regular clinic sessions at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital. The Division is pursuing outreach and marketing opportunities to increase referrals to the Lake Forest clinic.
The Division has started planning for the development of a Lung Transplant program. To be clinically active in FY 2013, the
Division will begin recruitment efforts for a Lung Transplant Surgeon and in collaboration with Pulmonary Medicine, a Transplant Pulmonologist during FY 2012.

Research
The Division added two new faculty this year. Dr. Mamta Swaroop joined the Division in September, 2010, as an Assistant
Professor after completing her Surgical Critical Care fellowship at Northwestern. Dr. Swaroop has research interests in traumatic brain injury and in international trauma and critical care system development. In August 2011, Dr. Steven Schwulst
joined the Division as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Schwulst completed his Surgery residency and Surgical Critical Care fellowship at Washington University. His research interest is in leucocyte apoptosis in inflammation and sepsis.
Education
Dr. Marie Crandall continues her work with behavioral patterns in trauma, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,
and is preparing for NIH grant submission in the fall. Dr. Nabil Issa‘s work in the Association for Surgical Education‘s research
fellowship program was presented at the ASE national meeting. Dr. Swaroop received funding support from the Eleanor Wood
Prince Grant Initiative for the creation of a traumatic brain injury registry and database at NMH.
Clinical Care
The Surgical Critical Care fellowship enters its third year with two new fellows in July. The program was favorably reviewed by
the ACGME. Division faculty received outstanding teaching awards from the Department of Surgery and the Feinberg School of
Medicine. Dr. Issa will begin the Master of Health Professional Education program at the University of Illinois this summer.
Clinical volume and acuity in trauma, acute care surgery, and critical care remain robust. The Trauma program was recertified
as a Level 1 center by the State of Illinois this spring. The Division has launched a partnership with Ceasefire, a communitybased organization that intervenes to promote well-being and prevent retaliatory violence. Christine Schilling, RN, was nominated in the category of Service Excellence/Clinical Role within the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation for her dedication and contribution to patient care.

Vascular Surgery Update
Introduction
On September 1, 2010, Dr. William Pearce stepped down from the position of Chief of the Division of Vascular Surgery. Dr. Pearce had been
chief since January 1998. He will continue as a practicing vascular surgeon in the division and as Director of the Vascular Laboratory. The
Division sincerely thanks Dr. Pearce for his 12 years of outstanding leadership.
Dr. Mark Eskandari accepted the role of Chief of the Division of Vascular Surgery. Dr. Eskandari joined the faculty of the Division in 2001,
after serving a two-year fellowship here. He also has appointments in the Departments of Radiology and Cardiology and is well known both
nationally and internationally for his work in endovascular surgery.
For two weeks in February 2011, Dr. William Pearce donated his time through the American Red Cross to work at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center treating wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Education
The 35th annual Northwestern Vascular Symposium (New Findings in Vascular Surgery) was held in Chicago, IL, December 8-10, 2010. The
symposium focused on assessment and treatment of various vascular diseases with presentations by 43 world-renowned physicians. Registration included 179 attendees from the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, US Virgin Islands, and Germany.
On June 24, 2011, Dr. George Havelka completed his two-year Vascular Surgery Scientist Training Program (T32) to become the first graduate of this program. Three trainees (Michael Park, Elaine Gregory, and Monica Rodriguez) continue their second years in the program and
two trainees (Nathaniel Koo and Hussein Kassam) started the program on July 1, 2011.
Clinical Care
In February 2011, Northwestern Memorial Hospital became the first facility to be granted Accreditation for Carotid Stenting by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Carotid Stenting Facilities. Dr. Mark Eskandari serves as medical director.
Mr. John Ancona, Physician Assistant in the Division of Vascular Surgery, was presented with the SICU Partner in Care Award as part of the
Nursing Excellence Awards Ceremony on May 6, 2011. This award recognizes the personal care and attention that John gives to the Vascular Surgery patients as well as his excellent working relationship with his peers.

Children’s Memorial Hospital Update
Introduction
With our move to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children‘s Hospital of Chicago
in June 2012 on schedule, we look forward to further developing our
Research, Education and Clinical Care endeavors in collaboration with
our Feinberg colleagues.
Research
Research endeavors continue to grow across the department. Among
many achievements, the Pediatric Neurosurgery Research Laboratory
has determined what causes folate responsiveness in the pathogenesis of Spina Bifida. The neuroblastoma lab of Marybeth Madonna,
MD, received a 2011 AMA Foundation Seed Grant Research Program
for stem cell research. Thirty-five faculty investigators received funding from the CMH Faculty Practice Plan for 2011.
Education
Marilyn Mets, MD has been appointed Lillian Sherman Cowen Reiger and Harold L.S. Cowen Research Professor in Pediatric Ophthalmology
through August 2014. John Maddalozzo, MD and Nancy Young, MD were promoted to Professor of Otolaryngology in May 2011. David Rothstein, MD was appointed Searles Fellow by the Searles Center for Teaching Excellence and the Feinberg Academy of Medical Educators for
AY 2010-2011. Carl Backer, MD was appointed to the Residency Review Committee for Thoracic Surgery by the ACGME. Elizabeth Yerkes,
MD, was selected as a 2011 Academic Exchange Program Scholar by the American Urological Association for its 2011 Annual Meeting in
Nagoya, Japan. Our fellowships in Pediatric Otolaryngology have received ACGME accreditation beginning July 2011.
Clinical Care
Children's Memorial Hospital achieved a Three-Year Approval with Commendation from the American College of Surgeons Commission on
Cancer in November 2010. Children‘s was one of only 4 freestanding pediatric cancer centers to achieve this distinction.
IS Update
In 2010, the Department of Surgery adopted the NU standard software and hardware video-conferencing tool know as ―Vidyo.‖ Vidyo is now
in use across NU for ―personal telepresence.‖ Making use of a grant provided by Karl Storz, Surgery acquired and began testing ―Vidyo‖ specifically for clinical and educational use at the desktop and in small room environments.
Over the past six months, Vidyo has been tested, providing coverage of Grand Rounds to Children‘s Memorial, physician in training lectures
to Stroger Hospital, remote department meetings for Emergency Medicine, and tumor board reviews for Radiation Oncology.
Sometime later this Fall, Surgery IS will begin live video-conferencing from two new Vascular OR‘s. The goal is to provide real-time presence
from the operating room to a clinic workstation or physician desktop. The tool being tested allows multiple simultaneous participants on a
call and integrates with a variety of signal sources. Potentially, a surgeon could share room, scope, fluro and other images to a remote colleague, without requiring the second physician to walk to the OR and scrub in or use an adjacent viewing room. It could also facilitate training of physicians at their desktops, locally or internationally.
Surgery IT Director Frank Schleicher suggests, ―The next successful video-conferencing environment -- whoever produces it -- will have two
critical characteristics. First, it will provide an affordable desktop alternative to existing tools. Like everything else, the technology will get
cheaper. And second, it will rely on web-based technology for reliable delivery across firewalls.‖
Desktop video-conferencing from the OR will be in ―beta-testing‖ this upcoming year. A review and assessment will be completed by Summer
of 2012.

Development and Alumni Relations Spotlight
The Northwestern Surgical Associates Resident Research Fund:
Supporting Excellence in Surgical Studies
A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, Ashley Hardy, MD is now a 5th year resident
in the Department of Surgery at Northwestern University. When asked about her initial interest in Northwestern, Dr. Hardy
cites both the unique training style of the program, particularly the emphasis on one-on-one interaction between residents
and attendings, as well as the excellent support network offered by the Northwestern community.
Dr. Hardy conducts research in Jacqueline S. Jeruss‘s laboratory, and is currently studying the relationship between cyclinoverexpression and SMAD 3 inhibition in breast cancer. She is also a recipient of funding from the Northwestern Surgical Associates (NSA), a private physicians group and long-time supporter of resident research at the Feinberg School. Dr. Hardy
shares, ―I am extremely grateful for the funding, as it allows for the continuation of my research. The generosity of members
of NSA, who also are alumni, demonstrates their belief in the importance of resident education beyond the clinic and operating room.‖
This emphasis on the well-rounded resident is another priority of the Department of Surgery residency program, clearly shared
by the generous members of Northwestern Surgical Associates. ―Residents learn not only technical skills, but are prepared for
every aspect of a surgical career. We are taught to be good teachers to colleagues and students. We also are exposed to a
diverse patient population and are made comfortable with a variety of surgical conditions,‖ said Dr. Hardy.
For more than 5 years, the NSA Resident Research Fund has been supporting residents like Dr. Hardy. This ongoing partnership provides the Department with crucial resources to continue its mission of educating an experienced and versatile group
of physician-scientists, set on a course to change the future of research and patient care in this field.
Continued philanthropy is of utmost importance to the advancement of this unique, cutting-edge residency program. To learn
more about opportunities to support residents like Dr. Hardy, please contact Courtney Weeks at 312-503-3080 or
[email protected].

VA Update
JESSE BROWN VETERAN AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER (JBVAMC)
The Surgical Service at JBVAMC is affiliated both with Northwestern University and University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Clinical
care and residency education are provided in General Surgery, Peripheral Vascular Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Optometry, Podiatry, Urology, Otolaryngology, and Thoracic Surgery.
In 2009, JBVAMC opened a new inpatient pavilion that includes 180 beds, 20 ICU beds, and eight operating rooms. In FY
2010, over 20,000 individual veterans were evaluated and/or treated on an outpatient basis by Surgical Service that included
over 80,000 patient visits. In FY 2011, over 3,200 operative procedures will be performed at JBVAMC.
Research
The research program at JBVAMC has enjoyed another very productive year led by Drs. David Bentrem and Melina Kibbe. For
the past several years, two NU residents have been funded annually by the VA to conduct research under the supervision of
Drs. Bentrem and Kibbe. A ―tradition‖ has evolved that these residents distinguish themselves with presentations at the Association of VA Surgeons annual meeting and this year was no different!
Education
The VA continues to provide our housestaff with substantial autonomy that provides for a unique clinical and educational experience. Resident evaluations of the VA continue to be very positive and the VA certainly adds a different dimension to the
resident experience.
Clinical Care
The VA has been through a difficult year in terms of its fiscal condition. We worked hard to maintain our patient and operative
volume, but there were significant limitations on expanding programs. Fortunately, a new Director has recently been recruited
and the financial status has improved. We are optimistic that FY12 will be a strong year in which we experience growth in volume and programmatic expansion.
