Thoracic surgery and trauma
The first two years of his surgical career developed a broad understanding of chest anatomy, thoracic trauma and the foundation for evaluating thoracic outlet syndrome.

Clinical expertise
Similar symptoms can originate at very different anatomical levels.
Assessment therefore begins by localizing the lesion, defining remaining function and considering time from onset—before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
01
Brachial plexus & nerve transfers
Complex and traumatic injury, nerve repair, grafting and transfers for functional reconstruction.
02Upper-limb nerve compression & neuroma pain
Entrapment at the wrist, elbow or forearm and neuropathic pain after trauma, scarring or surgery.
03Lower-limb and pelvic nerves
Sensory neuropathies, nerve injury and foot drop—from focused diagnosis to functional reconstruction.
04Facial palsy & smile reconstruction
Nerve transfer, dynamic smile reconstruction and treatment planning for facial synkinesis.
05Thoracic outlet syndrome
Multidisciplinary evaluation and tailored treatment of neurogenic TOS, including decompression when appropriate.
06Migraine & nerve-related headache
Trigger-site assessment, diagnostic blocks and nerve decompression in carefully selected patients.
Professional journey
A peripheral nerve practice built through trauma, orthopaedics and reconstruction.
After specialist certification in orthopaedic and hand surgery in Israel, Dr Khoury pursued an extended international pathway in reconstructive microsurgery and peripheral nerves—a discipline where anatomy, timing and functional priorities must be considered together.
Orthopaedics and major trauma at Hadassah Ein Kerem
Experience with severe injury, trauma and limb reconstruction established the functional context in which nerve injuries occur.
Hand surgery and reconstructive microsurgery
Recognized specialist training in hand surgery, with advanced work in microsurgery and reconstruction of delicate structures.
Core fellowship training
A dedicated year in peripheral nerve surgery in Taiwan
After six months of reconstructive microsurgery training in Singapore, Dr Khoury completed a one-year fellowship with Prof. David Chwei-Chin Chuang focused solely on brachial plexus surgery, nerve transfers, facial nerve reconstruction and functional restoration.
Education for patients and professionals
Nerve Israel.
Knowledge that leads to better questions.
An independent medical-education initiative making responsible peripheral nerve information accessible, raising awareness of frequently missed conditions and explaining modern diagnostic and reconstructive options in clear language.

Original interactive tool
Check your migraine
Eight short questions plus a side-dominance marker help organize where pain starts and how it spreads. Every positive answer is followed by concise anatomical context.
- 1Map the forehead, eye, temple, nose and occiput.
- 2Clear front, profile and posterior views.
- 3Answers stay in the browser and are not stored.
New interactive tool
TOS Compass
A focused history, body map and three brief movements document symptom distribution, the relationship to arm elevation and time to reproduction of the familiar complaint. It prepares for assessment; it does not diagnose.
- 1Pain, numbness, burning, heaviness, weakness and sensory change.
- 2Timed responses at 90°, toward 180° and with gentle shoulder protraction.
- 3Answers and timer data remain on the device and are not stored.
