The creation of the Department of Surgical Diseases at the Institute is directly connected with the name of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist, the famous surgeon Alexander Yakovlevich Yasnogorodsky (1956). Yasnogorodsky was invited to establish a Department of Surgery in the regional hospital and to develop the surgery scientifically and practically. Together with the establishment of the Department of Surgery, he gathered talented students around him and founded the Andijan School of Surgery.
