Sisters in surgery: from Nairobi to Stoke Mandeville
A Plastic Surgery and Burns newsletter feature introduced Dr Christine and her sister, Dr Catherine Nyabuto, as sisters and surgeons from Kenya.
The Plastic Surgery and Burns Newsletter of 5 September 2026 carried a feature titled Sisters in Spinal Injury Surgery: From Nairobi to Stoke Mandeville.
It introduces Dr Christine Nyabuto and Dr Catherine Nyabuto as sisters and surgeons from Kenya with experience at the National Spinal Injury Referral Hospital in Nairobi. Christine is described as a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon; Catherine as an orthopaedic and spine surgeon.
The article looks at the challenges people face after spinal cord injury in Kenya — and at why pressure wounds matter so much in their care, sometimes requiring prolonged wound care and complex reconstructive surgery.
