Kenneth L. Mattox, MD, FACS

 

Dr. Kenneth Mattox is Distinguished Service Professor in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, and he is Chief of Staff and Chief of Surgery at Ben Taub General Hospital, where he has served since 1973. He helped develop the internationally renowned Ben Taub General Hospital Emergency Center and its equally respected Trauma Center.

 

His reputation as an innovator in trauma care is worldwide. He has made original and significant contributions in many areas of trauma treatment and care. His research in preoperative fluid restriction for penetrating trauma shook the foundation of existing surgical doctrine.

 

A prolific author, Dr. Mattox co-authored the international best seller, Top Knife, a practical guide to trauma care.  Translated into ten foreign languages, physicians in war zones refer to this “little book” as their Bible in the OR.   His textbook, Trauma, is an international best seller, and he is co-editor of the Sabiston Textbook of Surgery

 

Dr. Mattox recently concluded his service as Second Vice President of the American College of Surgeons, and has served as an officer in numerous trauma and surgical professional organizations. He is also active in the Rotary Club of Houston and the John P. McGovern Museum of Health and Medical Science. He is equally adept in the emergency center, operating room, intensive care unit, conference room, courtroom, and political arena. Clinician, technician, administrator, educator, researcher, medical statesman and iconoclast all describe this versatile and controversial surgeon.
