Department of Surgery-AUBMC

On April 18, 2026, the Department of Surgery inaugurated the recently renovated Prof. Ghattas Khoury Surgical Training and Educational Unit in AUB, by conducting an advanced in-house robotic and laparoscopic skills workshop, designed for General Surgery and Urology residents.

Experienced faculty from the Division of General Surgery and the Division of Urology shared their experience with the surgical trainees and supervised their performance of laparoscopic and robotic procedures of various complexity.

This activity reflects the department's long-standing commitment and tradition of delivering high-quality surgical training and equipping trainees with cutting-edge surgical skills through a wide range of workshops, modern training tools, and the latest educational technology.

On August 4, 2020, Beirut experienced the largest urban explosion since Hiroshima and Nagasaki when 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate detonated in the port area. In a city of 2 million citizens, 220 died, 6,000 were injured, and hundreds were missing. The city’s hospitals were severely damaged, with many patients injured or killed in the explosion and forcing multiple hospitals to evacuate their unharmed patients. The semifunctional remaining hospitals were then overwhelmed with injuries from the three-second explosion.

The American College of Surgeons’ International Relations Committee and Committee on Trauma co-host this webinar that will explore the trauma and mass casualty experience in Beirut, including an early look at the outcomes of the injured patients from that day.

Register and join this webinar today, September 24th at 5 PM Beirut Time (9 AM CDT), to hear lessons learned from those on the ground on that day in Beirut with a Q&A following panel presentations:
Introductory Remarks - Haytham Kaafarani, MD, MPH, FACS
