Driving innovation to create medical breakthroughs in the treatment of digestive diseases
The Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, the Division of General and Gastrointestinal Surgery and the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery are working together to provide the latest treatment options to patients suffering from digestive diseases. Our physicians and researchers continuously look for new ways to prevent chronic illness and cancer through early detection like routine screenings, and breakthrough research that might identify new markers for disease that weren’t previously known.
U.S. News & World Report ranks Ohio State among the best hospitals in the nation for gastroenterology and GI surgery, which is ranked 50th.
These stories highlight some of the most promising work in our field.
