The inspiration of the "Clinician Scientist" vibe has been always an energy trigger for the McGillians' and the KAU's graduates, and hence he continued the line for advancing the clinical care as a surgeon in the hospital centers and office practice, as well as a researcher through the continuous publication of scientific papers, chapters, and textbooks. Furthermore, he is an active member of editorial and advisory editorial boards of a lot of international journals and publishing agencies directing the reviews and research contribution in the field.
