Message From the Chair: Nathaniel J. Soper, MD
It’s time once again to update our friends and supporters on the many happenings in the Department of Surgery of Northwestern Medicine. I hope that
you take time to read the complete narrative on the following pages, but wish
to impart a brief synopsis of the highlights of the past year. There’s much
going on here at the Streeterville campus and beyond. The Department continues to grow and thrive, with new programs, increased operative volumes,
state-of-the-art educational programs, and transformational research, as we
strive to fulfill our tripartite academic mission.

As noted in the Spotlight article, the Division of Breast Surgery was created
as an entity distinct from surgical oncology, with Nora Hansen named as
Division Chief. Nora has been with us for the past seven years and has been
instrumental in the growth of the clinical and research programs within the Breast Center. I am confident
that the division will flourish under her capable leadership.
Four faculty members were awarded academic promotions in the past year. Jonathan Fryer, from the Division of Organ Transplantation and the General Surgery Residency Program Director, was promoted to Professor of Surgery. Eric Hungness, a member of the GI/Oncology Surgery Division, was promoted to Associate Professor of Surgery. Dr. Hungness was also honored with an endowed chair, the S. David Stulberg,
M.D. Research Professorship, to support his cutting-edge research in natural orifice surgery and teaching
activities in the N-CASE simulation laboratory. Alberto de Hoyos, from the Division of Thoracic Surgery,
was promoted to Associate Professor of Surgery. Heron Rodriguez, a member of the Vascular Surgery Division, was promoted to Associate Professor of Surgery. Several of our faculty ascended to leadership positions

in American surgery this past year. Melina Kibbe is President of the Association for Academic Surgery and
was named Recorder of the Association of VA Surgeons. David Mahvi was named Vice-Chair of the American Board of Surgery’s Board of Directors. I was honored to be named President-Elect of the Central Surgical Association and serve as Recorder for the Society of Surgery of the Alimentary Tract.
Several new faculty have joined our department recently. Arun Gosain was recruited to be the Division
Head of Plastic Surgery at Lurie Children’s Hospital. Mohammed Alghoul is a fellowship-trained microvascular surgeon who joined the Division of Plastic Surgery. Andrew Hoel recently completed his Vascular
Surgery fellowship at Dartmouth and will be expanding the use of branched-graft vascular procedures at our
institution. Victor Tsirline, trained in Minimally Invasive Surgery, has joined the Lake Forest Hospital Sur-

Jerry Ujiki, who recently retired after a long and eventful career. Dr. Ujiki was the centerpiece of a fund-raising effort to endow an annual lecture
in surgical education in his name, and was recently granted emeritus status at the Feinberg School.
Our Vice-Chair of Education, Debra DaRosa Ph.D., is one of only a handful of Ph.D. educators leading education programs within departments
of surgery nationwide. Under her leadership, we are beginning a new, and potentially transformative, effort to improve teaching and assessment
of residents in the operating room. Jay Prystowsky, who had led our educational programs for several years, recently stepped down as Associate
General Surgery Residency Program Director for Evaluation. Shari Meyerson, a thoracic surgeon, was recruited to assume this important function. Nabil Issa, from Trauma/Critical Care, successfully organized and ran the inaugural surgical boot camp for the new interns coming on
board at Northwestern.
The Research Update describes the remarkable growth of the Department of Surgery’s research program over the past five years. Not only did we
achieve the #14 ranking in NIH awards this year, but only two of the 13 higher ranked programs have a similar makeup of divisions—the other
departments include additional specialties (e.g. Urology or ENT). Three faculty members, Karl Bilimoria, Steven Schwulst and Jason Wertheim,
who have only been on faculty for a year, have already had great success in beginning their research endeavors, developing meaningful collaboration and securing extramural funding.
June, 2012, saw the opening of the new Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago on the Northwestern campus. This state-of-the-art facility and its
staff will enhance collaboration between the physicians and researchers of our two institutions and should stimulate the development of new
clinical and research programs. Ground was also broken recently on a new Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) outpatient care pavilion,
which will be located across Erie street from the Emergency Department and is set to open in 2015. Thus, the campus continues to expand onsite, an unusual opportunity in the middle of the city of Chicago. These buildings are the outward manifestation of new directions on campus.
More important is the continued evolution of the concept of Northwestern Medicine, the combination of all of the entities working to elevate
the care of patients under the Northwestern umbrella. Along with Lake Forest Hospital as a full partner, multiple outpatient satellite locations
are being developed to allow our excellent brand of care to be expanded to a larger population in Chicagoland. NMH was recently named to the
honor role of hospitals by U.S. News and World Report, ranked #12 nationally. Dr. Eric Neilson was appointed Dean of the Feinberg School of
Medicine and is accelerating the process of growth, collaboration and the pursuit of excellence for the Northwestern Medicine brand.
I hope that this communication has given the reader a snapshot of the multiple advances currently ongoing within the Department of Surgery
and the greater Northwestern Medicine community. We are enthusiastic about where we currently stand, but are truly excited by our prospects
for the future!
Sincerely yours,

Spotlight On: Nora Hansen, MD
Shaping a New Division
Dr. Nora Hansen has always had a clear vision for the Lynn Sage Comprehensive Breast Center; a vision
with powerful momentum established when she was first recruited as Director in 2005. That vision flourished over the last seven years and has led to the newly established Division of Breast Surgery, which she now
leads as Division Chief.
Dr. Soper led the Search Committee that was charged with identifying a candidate with strong, respected
clinical skills; an empathic bedside manner; academic experience, and someone invested in clinical research.
Additionally, the preferred candidate needed to demonstrate strong leadership skills, the ability to form a
group, the ability to mentor junior faculty, and strong collaborative skills to allow an interdisciplinary approach - a perfect description of Nora Hansen.
Her strong leadership helped the Breast Center obtain certification from the American College of Surgery,
National Association of Breast Program Certification (NAPBC). Dr. Hansen served on the board of the
Nora M. Hansen, MD
NAPBC for six years and her knowledge of the twenty-seven standards needed for certification were crucial
Chief, Division of Breast Surgery
to molding the Breast Center. She also works closely with the Lynn Sage Foundation which has supported
the Breast Center from its inception. The Foundation funds two Breast Surgery fellows each year, invests in
new pilot programs, and is striving to establish a program to coordinate care for patients who are at high risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. With coordination of care in mind, Dr. Hansen aims to build an even more robust multidisciplinary team for patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer. This team would include medical oncology, radiation oncology, plastic/reconstructive and breast surgery. Ideally, the patient would complete all testing in the morning and would meet with the team to discuss an individualized care plan at the end of the day. Her
focus is always “patients first” and she would like to see her new division differentiate itself with a more personal touch. Using these strategies,
Dr. Hansen’s objective is for the Breast Center to capture a larger market share in the Chicago area.
Dr. Hansen completed her undergraduate work at the University of Chicago and matriculated to New York Medical College where she obtained
her M.D. in 1988. She performed her residency at the University of Chicago where she was named Chief Administrative Resident in her final
residency year. Subsequently, Dr. Hansen completed a surgical oncology fellowship at the University of Chicago and spent time at both the
John Wayne Cancer Institute and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center during her fellowship. After her fellowship Dr. Hansen was recruited to Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, however she moved to the West Coast after a year. Dr. Hansen returned to Chicago in the fall of 2005 to head up the Lynn Sage Comprehensive Breast Center. Before rejoining Northwestern, she was the Associate Director of
the Joyce Eisenberg Keefer Breast Center with Saint John’s Hospital and Health Center and an Associate Member of Surgical Oncology at the
John Wayne Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, California.
While Dr. Hansen’s research focus is clinically based, she has more than fifty articles in peer-reviewed publications and nine book chapters and is
a nationally recognized expert in breast cancer research. She continues to be an advocate for Drs. Seema Khan and Jacqueline Jeruss’ research
laboratories. And, the Breast Center recently welcomed Dr. Karl Bilimoria, whose clinical and research efforts are split between the Breast Center and Surgical Oncology. This team works hard to demystify breast cancer and create a nurturing environment in which to care for those patients.
The new Division of Breast Surgery unfolded on September 1, 2012.

Surgical Education Updates
Medical Student Programs
Dr. Amy Halverson, Associate Clerkship Director, began her studies for a Master in Health Professions Education degree at the University of Illinois-Chicago and will be focusing on enhancing student evaluation methods and materials in the surgery clerkship. She is also
focusing on the development of an experiential curriculum and corresponding assessment tools for teaching new technical skills to rural
surgeons. Part of this effort will include the development of externships in rural surgery for medical students and residents.
Nurse Educator Liz Even RN, MSN, presented her low-cost method of teaching NG Tube placement with sour punch straws at the 2012
Association for Surgical Education Annual Meeting to wide-acclaim.
Congratulations to Christine Cherella who is the 2011 Julius Conn Award recipient. The Julius Conn Award is given annually to the
highest achieving surgery clerkship student based upon academic performance and professionalism.
After a three month trial at the end of last academic year, the surgery sub-internship rotation has started strong in the 2012-2013 academic year with more than forty applicants and a significant number on the waiting list. The high ratio of attending and chief resident
surgeons to sub-internship student, unique skill development, interactive teaching strategies, as well as a clinically relevant patient management syllabus are strong attractions for students. Dr. Nabil Issa serves as the surgery sub-internship director, assisted by Clare Petrie
as the sub-I coordinator.
The NU Feinberg School of Medicine New Curriculum Steering Committee is developing a new medical student curriculum to be implemented in phases. Dr. Julia Corcoran, our Surgery Clerkship Director, is working with a team of surgical faculty to revise the surgery
clerkship to be consistent with the Steering Committee’s new curriculum guidelines and principles. A proposal for a new surgery clerkship structure has been submitted to the Dean’s Office for consideration. It involves a “core” 8-week clerkship in the 3rd year, a second
3rd year 6-week clerkship designed for students interested in pursuing surgery, and a 4 th year 4-week clerkship for students not seeking a
surgical specialty. Details of the proposed curriculum will be developed once we learn the outcome of the Dean’s Office decision of our
new design.
Resident Programs*
Effective July 1, 2012, Dr. Shari Meyerson assumed the position of Associate Program Director of Evaluation, the position formerly held
by Dr. Jay Prystowsky. Dr. Meyerson has been on faculty since October 2010, joining the Division of Thoracic Surgery as an Associate
Professor of Surgery. She is currently enrolled in the Master of Medical Education program offered through the University of Cincinnati. High on Dr. Meyerson’s priority list will be reviewing the current resident recruitment process for areas of enhancement. We
would like to thank Dr. Prystowsky for his leadership and contributions to the general surgery residency program.
2012 was the inaugural year for the department’s PGY-1 resident boot camp. Fourteen incoming residents participated in a two–day,
hands-on experiential and didactic curriculum. We would like to thank all the residents and faculty who helped teach and contributed
to this effort. We would like to specifically recognize Dr. Nabil Issa for his instrumental leadership in developing and implementing the
bootcamp curriculum, along with Bethany Stiegemeier, who assisted Dr. Issa with the organization and logistics of the program.
*Additional residency and fellowship educational updates are described in the corresponding division sections.

Baker, Dr. Michael Abecassis, Dr. Daniela Ladner, Dr. Anton Skaro
The Division of Organ Transplantation had a strong year in
all areas of our mission: clinical care, education, and research. Our faculty are leaders in national societies, our clinical programs continue to lead nationally in volumes, innovation, and outcomes, our trainees graduate to leading academic positions, and our researchers are attracting funding
and generating high-impact publications in our areas of research focus.
Clinical Care
The clinical transplant programs again easily led the Chicago
metropolitan area, and all programs ranked among the top
five nationally by volume. Living donor transplantation
again allowed our patients faster access to transplants, and
innovative strategies including laparoscopic donor procedures, paired-donor exchange, and pre-transplant desensitization made this possible. The integrated hepatocellular carcinoma program, a collaboration offering the full range of
diverse therapies from oncologists, interventional radiologists, hepatologists, hepatobiliary surgeons and others has
established itself as a regional referral center for patients
with this complex cancer. This year, in collaboration with
the Division of Surgical Oncology, we leveraged the success
of our islet transplantation program to initiate a program in
auto-islet transplantation to make it possible for patients
with severe benign pancreatic disease to receive symptomalleviating surgery while maintaining insulin-producing beta
cells. This promises to improve quality of life and reduce
addiction among these patients, without the induced diabetes normally associated with these surgical approaches.

Education
Our fellowships continued their growth, with the addition of a second slot in our transplant nephrology program. Graduates
continue to be heavily recruited for academic positions. Dr. Jon Fryer was named Program Director for the General Surgery
residency and assumed that role this year. Finally, our NIH-funded T32 Transplant Scientist Training Program was renewed
for five years and will continue to provide one outcomes research and one basic science research slot each year to postdoctoral researchers interested in transplantation.
Research
Transplant-related research continued to excel in all areas. Dr. Joseph Leventhal’s tolerance induction study received national attention as the first plenary address at the American Transplant Congress, a publication in Science Translational Medicine, and significant media attention. The Northwestern University Transplant Outcomes Research Collaborative
(NUTORC) has continued its rapid growth with more than two dozen publications, presentations at major meetings, and
new grants.
Two relatively new efforts are off to excellent
early success. First, Dr. Jason Wertheim joined
the faculty last August to develop a program in
bioengineered tissues and organs. In his first
year, he has established collaborations with the
Chemistry of Life Processes Institute, department of materials engineering, IBNAM, Wake
Forest, Pittsburgh, and other leaders. He has
secured significant funding including
$300,000 for one year (renewable twice for
$900,000) from the Zell Family Foundation,
and was awarded the $225,000 AASLD liver
scholar award. The illustration at the right
shows his work in decellularizing a kidney and
re-growing endothelial cells on the decellularized scaffold. Recently, this effort provided a
home for Dr. Ramille Shah, an engineer with
a background in regenerative medicine. This
nascent effort is off to an extremely positive
start.
Second, the program in biomarkers that was incorporated in the CTOT consortium and was awarded a subcontract as
the clinical core for Dr. Dan Salomon’s (Scripps Research Institute) U19 program project grant in transplant biomarkers. In addition, we have established new collaborations with Dr. Neil Kelleher, a world leader in top-down proteomics, at the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute on the Evanston Campus, the PROOF center at the University of
British Columbia, and several industry partners. This work holds the promise of research that will lead to less invasive
testing, earlier diagnosis, and personalized medicine. It also strengthens all of our other major translational, clinical,
and outcomes initiatives by adding a biomarker dimension.

By all measures, the Division of Plastic Surgery had a productive year. The division graduates two residents a year, with 14
total residents in the program. The graduating chief residents, Dr. Sonya Agnew and Dr. Marco Ellis, gained top
fellowships in plastic surgery subspecialties upon their matriculation. Dr. Agnew will attend the University of Washington hand surgery fellowship, while Dr. Ellis will pursue a
fellowship in microvascular craniofacial surgery at the University of Maryland.
The Laboratory for Repair and Regenerative Surgery has
been awarded almost 10 million dollars of funding over the
past three years. Three PI’s include Dr. Galiano, the leader
of the laboratory, Dr. Mustoe, and Dr. Hong. They are well
supported by two senior scientists, two postdocs, and five
residents/students. Outside of the lab but still located within the division of plastic surgery is the bionic arm research of
Dr. Dumanian performed with Todd Kuiken of the RIC,
and a clinical trials unit headed by Drs. Kim and Galiano.
Dr. Kim is the local PI for a multicenter breast reconstruction outcomes study.
Clinically, one addition to the division was Dr. Mohammed
Alghoul who began practicing in August. Trained as a full
general surgeon before completing fellowships in plastic surgery, microsurgery, and ophthalmoplastic surgery, Dr. Alghoul will perform the full spectrum of plastic surgery. We
welcome him to the faculty.
The division is pioneering the use of mobile telephones for
HIPAA compliant exchange of clinical messages and photos
between team members. The “HipaaCat” system went live
on June 28 with the new resident year. Ask a plastic surgery
