Jenny Lee Nguyen, MD, FAAP

I want to thank Dr. Jenny Lee Nguyen for serving as guest editor for this issue of Seminars in Plastic Surgery on “Congenital Pediatric Hand Surgery.” We also appreciate the efforts made by each outstanding author for contributing to this issue. Dr. Nguyen is an Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Plastic Surgery in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, United States. In this capacity, she serves as the medical co-Director of both the brachial plexus and upper extremity spasticity multidisciplinary clinics at Texas Children's Hospital. She is also the Associate Program Director of the Baylor College of Medicine Integrated Plastic Surgery Residency. Dr. Nguyen received her undergraduate degree at Baylor University before attaining her medical degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. She completed an integrated plastic surgery residency through Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She then went on to complete an orthopedic hand and upper extremity surgery fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine, a pediatric craniofacial surgery fellowship at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, a pediatric hand surgery and microsurgery fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital, and a pediatric hand surgery fellowship at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. Her practice now focuses on congenital hand conditions, hand trauma, brachial plexus birth palsy, peripheral nerve surgery, cerebral palsy, and microsurgery. Dr. Nguyen is passionate about the care of congenital pediatric hand differences, believing that the thoughtful assessment and treatment of these conditions have the ability to greatly improve these children's lives. Since joining Texas Children's Hospital, she has worked to improve the coordinated care for these patients, growing the brachial plexus multidisciplinary clinic and establishing the upper extremity spasticity multidisciplinary clinic. She has also mentored numerous undergraduate and medical students, residents, and fellows, instilling not only medical knowledge, but also an excitement for caring for this unique patient population. Her passion for education and for the care of her patients makes her the ideal editor for this issue. Publication History Article published online: 15 July 2026 © 2026. Thieme. All rights reserved.
