✦ Synopsis

After a brief illness, Sal Shenaq, M.D., died on March 17, 2007. Sal worked up until January, when he was diagnosed with primary hepatic cell carcinoma. At that time, the tumor was invading the portal vein; further evaluation identified partial obstruction of the hepatic veins and total portal vein occlusion. This finding made Dr. Shenaq ineligible for resection or liver transplantation. As always for Sal, the subsequent 8 weeks were personal, humble, and brave, and spent with tremendous devotion from and to his family.

Sal was a surgical pioneer in brachial plexus reconstruction and a leader in plastic surgery education. He was born in Jordan in 1948, and after competitive testing as one of the top 10 students in that country, he subsequently attended medical school at the University of Cairo in Egypt. Dr. Shenaq came to America in 1972 and completed his general surgery residency at the Ohio University College of Medicine. He was recruited to the University of Pittsburgh Plastic Surgery Residency program, graduating in 1981, and he also completed the Hand/Microsurgery
