At the initial stage, on the basis of the department to provide qualified surgical care to the population, 4 specialized clinical departments were created (the base was located in the current 8 building 2 of the clinic of the Tashkent Medical Academy). In September 1981, the Department of Hospital Surgery (head of the department Karimov Sh.I.) was renamed the Department of Surgical Diseases No. 3. In 1990, in connection with the division of the Tashkent State Medical Institute into the First and Second Tashkent State Medical Institute, the department was again reorganized and became be called the department of faculty and hospital surgery of the Second Tashkent State Medical Institute.
In 1998, as a result of merging with the departments of pediatric surgery and urology, the department of hospital and faculty surgery was organized with a course of urology and pediatric surgery, which continued to be headed by academician Karimov Sh.I. After 3 years, the course of urology and pediatric surgery were again singled out as separate departments.
After the establishment of the Tashkent Medical Academy in 2005, the department of faculty and hospital surgery was preserved in its original form and became part of the medical faculty of TMA. From the day the department was founded, students of the 4th and 5th courses have been trained on its basis. So, in the 4th year, classes are conducted on the subject of “faculty surgery”, and in the 5th year – in “hospital surgery”.
