The department was founded in 1969, at that time it was called the Department of Surgical Diseases of the Pediatric Faculty. The department started its work in the surgical department with 60 beds at the Yorboshin Hospital in Andijan district. S.U.

The Department of Faculty and Hospital Surgery No.1 is engaged in several scientific directions, including: clinical lymphology, reconstructive-plastic surgery, abdominal surgery, thoracic, and vascular surgery.
Today, in Uzbekistan, there exists a unique school of clinical lymphology distinguished by the development of an independent scientific direction recognized among specialists and its integration into practical healthcare. In order to optimize the use of lymphatic therapy in global practice, in 1986, the department’s staff developed the first working classification of lymphatic therapy. As a result of research in the field of lymphology, 17 doctoral and 40 candidate dissertations have been defended, with ongoing work on 1 doctoral and 4 candidate dissertations. Over 1450 scientific papers have been published, along with 10 monographs, including the first manual on regional lymphatic therapy in English (1988) and the first manual on clinical lymphology (1999). Additionally, 14 patents have been obtained.
