The University of Chicago Department of Surgery proudly participated in the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2025, held October 4–7 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The annual conference brought together surgeons from around the world to exchange ideas, present research, and explore the latest innovations shaping the future of surgical care.
