SURGICAL COMPETENCE
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
o Cranial trauma: can operate independently all cranial trauma cases
including epidural hematoma, acute and chronic subdural hematoma,
skull fractures, cerebral contusions, and intra-axial hematomas.
o Spinal traumas: can do all spinal procedures in subaxial cervical
spine, dorsal and lumber spine. Regarding the high cervical spine,
done only retropharyngeal odontoidectomy (did not do any transoral
approaches), C1-C2 wiring and transarticular screw, anterior and
posterior, occipito-cervical fusion.

(applied a clip once (PCOM aneurysm)), but have not done any
endovascular procedures), have not operated or assisted in any AVM
cases.
o Stereotactic procedures: operated and assisted in more than 30

cyst aspiration with omaya reservoir placement and stereotactic
amygdalohippocampectomy (5 cases)
Used 3 frames, Leksell,
Liebenger Z-D and CRW.
o Brain tumors: can efficiently do convexity, olfactory groove, lateral
and medial sphenoid, suprasellar, CPA, parasagittal, and falcine. Have
not operated clival or petroclival meningiomas. Operated
independently most gliomas. Actively assisted in vestibular and
trigeminal schwannomas. Operated trans-cranial and transsphenoidal pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas.
o Spinal procedures: done most approaches for degenerative spinal
disorders, fractures, and spinal tumors.
o Congenital: can operate efficiently congenital hydrocephalus,
myelomeningocele and tethered cord.
o Nerve injuries: many cases of ulnar, median, radial, lateral popliteal
nerve repairs, with or without sural nerve grafts. Have not done any
cases of brachial plexus neurolysis,.

o Endoscopic procedures: assisted actively in 19 cases of endoscopic
3rd ventriculostomy , 5 cases of endoscopic colloid cyst removal and
independently done 6 cases of 3rd ventriculostomy
o Epilepsy surgery: 5 cases of stereotactic amygdalohippocampectomy
via radiofrequency ablation, 12 cases of radiosurgery for epilepsy,
and operated 10 cases of open amygdalohippocampectomy, 3 cases of
formal temporal lobectomy
o Approaches: Subfrontal, pterional, subtemporal suboccipital, frontoorbitozygomatic transsphenoidal.
o Radiosurgery: Assisted in the treatment of 50 cases using Gamma
knife Model C (including outpatient clinic attendance, frame
application, dose planning and treatment execution) (under the
supervision of Professor Jeremy C. Ganz) at the Gamma Knife Center,
Cairo, Egypt.
