About Us

 The unit was set up in December 1995 by Dr. Tarek Abdalla El-Gammal,current professor of Orthopedics, who received his clinical microsurgical training at the Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital, in Taipei, Taiwan. The first microsurgical transfer performed was lateral arm flap to the hand. The first fellow was Dr. Amr El-Sayed Ali, current lecturer of Orthopedics, who majors in lower extremity reconstruction following tumor resection. The surgical team has rapidly expanded to include six practicing surgeons in addition to one clinical fellow/year.
