Tumor removal surgeries
In 2000, McKinnon treated a woman with a large tumor disorder in Michigan. He successfully removed a 200-pound tumor in an 18-hour operation that drew worldwide attention, according to USA Today.[3][4]
In 2004, McKinnon offered his services and traveled on a special mission to Romania. Along with 12 other doctors, he performed a 10-hour operation and removed an 80-pound tumor from a 47-year-old woman that suffers from a genetic disorder causing tumors to grow on her body, according to BBC news.[5][6][7]
He has led a mission to Choluteca, Honduras where he performs cleft lip and palate surgery. Over the years, more than 500 children have received treatment at no cost. McKinnon was asked to lead the service and says the children are grateful to be given the health treatment.[8]
