Surgery
Main article: Surgery
Surgical specialties employ operative treatment. In addition, surgeons must decide when an
operation is necessary, and also treat many non-surgical issues, particularly in the surgical
intensive care unit (SICU), where a variety of critical issues arise. Surgeons must also manage
pre-operative, post-operative, and potential surgical candidates on the hospital wards.
Surgery has many sub-specialties, including general surgery, cardiovascular surgery,colorectal
surgery, neurosurgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery,oncologic surgery, orthopedic
surgery, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, podiatric surgery, transplant surgery, trauma
surgery,urology, vascular surgery, and pediatric surgery. In some centers,anesthesiology is part
of the division of surgery (for historical and logistical reasons), although it is not a surgical

2. discipline. Other medical specialties may employ surgical procedures, such
as ophthalmology and dermatology, but are not considered surgical sub-specialties per se.
Surgical training in the U.S. requires a minimum of five years of residency after medical school.
Sub-specialties of surgery often require seven or more years. In addition, fellowships can last an
additional one to three years. Because post-residency fellowships can be competitive, many
trainees devote two additional years to research. Thus in some cases surgical training will not
finish until more than a decade after medical school. Furthermore, surgical training can be very
difficult and time consuming.
