Trauma and critical care surgeon Kareem Abdelfattah, M.D., is trained to be ready for anything. In caring for the more than 5,000 trauma patients and 600 burn patients admitted to UT Southwestern every year, Dr. Abdelfattah and his team have to be prepared not only to work on any part of the body, but also to make critical decisions at a moment’s notice.
In addition to trauma surgery, Dr. Abdelfattah provides surgical solutions for painful conditions such as hernia repair and gallbladder disease.
