Dr. Davis Goes on Austin Smiles Mission Trip To El Salvador

February 2009

Dr Davis just returned from a medical mission in El Salvador.  The mission group totaled 34 and included plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, operating room techs and volunteers.  The military hospital in San Salvador hosted this week long surgery marathon.  There were 46 major surgical cases done during this time which consisted mainly of congenital cleft deformities (cleft lip and cleft palate).  Photos of patients and their early surgery results, their families and some staff members are included.

This was Dr. Davis's 20th mission trip to El Salvador and his 23rd mission trip with Austin Smiles.
