Katie Egan, MD, provided specialized instruments and microsurgery techniques, Mark Greyson, MD, performed surgery on primarily congenital injuries to the hand and lower extremities and surgical residents Taylor Allenby, MD, Ariel Johnson, MD, and Ton Doan, MD, worked with Vietnamese patients as part of their resident training.
