Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Surgery at Stanford University is to provide excellent patient care, to deliver outstanding undergraduate and graduate education, and furthermore to invent the future of Surgery through a commitment to basic science, clinical research and innovation. To this end, the Goodman Simulation Center at Stanford is an integral part of these missions, and of the broad education programs throughout Stanford University School of Medicine.  Sanjeev Dutta, MD Two Possible Causes for Bowel Disease in Infants New research from Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the School of Medicine is helping physicians unravel the cause of a deadly and mysterious bowel disease (necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC) that strikes medically fragile newborn babies. The findings, which appear in the May issue of the journal Pediatrics, suggest that the diagnosis of NEC in premature infants versus those with heart disease may actually encompass two distinct disease processes with different origins. "If we start accepting that we are looking at two different diseases, further research may be able to elucidate some differences in the disease process and help us tailor management," said senior study author Sanjeev Dutta, MD, assistant professor of surgery and pediatrics at Packard Children's and the School of Medicine.
