Day 1 in Cambodia! Our team of 12 hand surgeons, trainees, and our hand therapist arrived at the Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) in Phnom Penh to a full waiting room this morning. The CSC team had a busy week lined up, packed with clinics, surgeries, and training sessions. 🌏

In the operating room, the team tackled a variety of procedures: groin flap for burn contractures, camptodactyly & syndactyly releases, nerve grafting, and more. 🩺👩‍⚕️

In the clinic, we saw familiar faces from past visits and many new patients, with cases ranging from burn contractures, brachial plexus injuries, to congenital hand and foot conditions. It was great to collaborate with our CSC colleagues on complex surgeries and follow-ups. 🌏
