Stages of formation

The School of Pediatric Surgery in Dagestan has launched in 1965, when, after successfully defending his PhD thesis in Moscow under the guidance of Academician Yu. F. Isakov, Gadzhimirzaev Gadzhimirza Abdusamadovich started working at the DMI as an assistant at the Department of General Surgery. The “clinical base” of pediatric surgery was then represented by one ward with 8 beds in the general surgical department of the 2nd city hospital of Makhachkala. In 1969, on the basis of the 1st city hospital, a children’s surgical department with 60 beds was opened, and in 1971 the course of pediatric surgery at the Department of Hospital Surgery, led by associate Professor Gadzhimirzaev G. A. In 1972, Gadzhimirza Abdusamadovich defended his doctoral dissertation, and in 1975 (the year of the first graduation of the Pediatric Faculty), under the same leadership, but now with the title of professor, the Department of Pediatric Surgery was opened. The first teachers at the department were candidates of medical sciences Arbuliyev M. G., Aisaev Z. Ch., Magomedov A.D., Kaziev K. E. Then the assistants of the department were candidates of medical Sciences Dalgatov V. G. (1976), Magaramov M. A. (1978), Sharipov N. A.(1982), Murtuzaaliev N. P. (1982), Magomedova T. M. (1982), Ashurbekov V. T. (1983), Gadzhimirzaev G. G. (1996), Makhachev B. M. (2004), Yahyaev Ya. M. (2004), Patakhov S. P. (2005), Meilanova F. V. (2005), Shihabudinova P. A. (2008).

In the following years, the department moved from place to place four more times, until it finally settled in 1987 on the basis of the Children’s Republican Clinical Hospital. Currently, the bed fund of the department exceeds 260 beds. In addition, 2 children’s surgical departments operate in the cities of Derbent and Khasavyurt.

Academic affairs

The clinical bases of the department are the departments of selective surgery, purulent-emergency surgery, orthopedics, traumatology, maxillofacial and neurosurgery, outpatient trauma, reconstructive surgery, gravity surgery, neonatal resuscitation and general resuscitation, anesthesiology, endoscopy of the RPCH named after  Kuraeva N. M.

For practical classes with students, study rooms, classrooms, visual aids – posters, tables, slides, X-rays, videos, medical records, as well as dissertation materials of the department staff are used.

To control the knowledge of the department developed tests, manuals for students of medical and pediatric faculties.

Research direction

The directions of scientific research in medicine are mainly determined by regional needs and technological capabilities. Therefore, for many years, the focus was on the problems relevant to pediatric surgery in Dagestan: trivial at first glance — appendicitis in children, intestinal obstruction, congenital pylorostenosis, hematogenous osteomyelitis, lung destruction, etc. With the growth of the number of employees and technical capabilities, scientific ambitions grew and now there are already areas in the science of Dagestan that have been identified by pediatric surgeons: a) malformations in children, b) burns and scarring of the esophagus, c) surgical diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, d) injuries in the elbow joint, e) funnel — shaped and keeled deformities of the chest, e) reconstructive plastic surgery of the urinary-genital system and urolithiasis in children, g) severe combined trauma, as well as firearms and mines — explosive injuries of children, 3) anesthesia, intensive care and resuscitation of young children, g) echinococcosis in children, etc.

Over the past period, employees have defended 4 doctoral and 17 candidate theses, 3 doctoral and 2 candidate theses are being completed. More than 1000 works have been published, 52 of them abroad. 8 author’s certificates for the invention, 29 certificates for rational proposals, two certificates and a medal of the participants of the VDNH in the section “Medicine” were received. The staff of the department has repeatedly made scientific reports on various problems of pediatric surgery at congresses, conferences, and symposiums of all levels. The head of the department, Professor Gadzhimirzaev G. A., as part of the Soviet delegations, was a participant of the International Congress of Pediatric Surgeons in Spain (1977) and the Congress of Pediatric Surgeons in Yugoslavia (1979), MD, Makhachev B. M. in Israel, USA, Germany. In October 2001, the Republican Scientific and Practical Conference on Pediatric Surgery was held with international participation, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Dagestan State Medical Academy and the 25th anniversary of the Department of Pediatric Surgery. The leading pediatric surgeons of Russia took part in its work: academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Professor E. A. Stepanov, Chief Pediatric Surgeon of Moscow, Professor V. P. Nemsadze, Head of the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the Moscow Medical and Dental Academy, Professor A. P. Erokhin, Head of the Course of Pediatric Endoscopy at the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the Russian State Medical University, Professor A. F. Dronov, Professor of the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the Russian State Medical University, A. Yu.Razumovsky. Of the 220 scientific papers published in the conference materials, 91 were prepared for the staff of the Children’s surgery clinic on the basis of the RPCH. The conference materials contain 18 papers from neighboring countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan), 2 publications were received from our former employees working in Tunisia.

History of the Student Scientific Circle

The history of the student scientific circle on pediatric surgery formally begins with the opening of the docent course in 1970, although in previous years, as an assistant at the Department of Hospital Surgery, G. A. Gadzhimirzaev attracted students to the study of scientific problems of pediatric surgery. In 1970, the first appearance on the All-Union Arena took place in Riga, where a report was made by a 5th-year student of the Faculty of Medicine Sultan Adilkhanov (now-Candidate of Medical Sciences, Honored Doctor of the RD, Head of the Department of Medicine, head of department of Vascular Surgery of the RCH). In 1974, in the city of Chisinau, the student scientific circle was awarded for the first time with a diploma of the 1st degree and a commemorative medal. The participants of this 16th All-Union conference were students Dibirov Magomed (now-Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Surgery of the 1^st Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy), Gaziev Rashid (now-Doctor of Medical Sciences, Head of the Department of Faculty Surgery of the DSMA), Ramazanov Mutalim (now Doctor of Medical Sciences, oncologist in the GENUS). With the opening of the Department of Pediatric Surgery and the subordination of pediatric Surgery, the main core of the circle members began to be students of the Pediatric Faculty. Subsequently, the members of our department regularly participated in the All-Union Student scientific conferences on pediatric surgery in various cities of the USSR. A significant event for us took place in 1980 – the next 22nd All-Union Student Scientific Conference was held in the city of Makhachkala.

Some results of the almost forty-year history of the student scientific circle at the Department of Pediatric Surgery are as follows:

• our club members took part in 20 All-Union and 19 All-Russian student scientific conferences;
• in the materials of these conferences, 167 scientific papers were published, the authors of which were 358 students;
• our club has been awarded with diplomas of the 1st degree among the best circles of the country 31 times;
• 112 scientific papers have been published in the materials of the final student conferences of the DSMA and other regional conferences.
• Among the former members of the circle are 8 chief doctors and heads of departments, more than 25 candidates and doctors of science. Our members work not only as pediatric surgeons, but also as resuscitators, anesthesiologists, general surgeons, microsurgeons, obstetricians and gynecologists, optometrists, ENT doctors.

In the RPCH named after N. M. Kuraev alone, 15 members of the circle work, headed by the chief physician, Head of the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Doctor of Medical Sciences B. M. Makhachev.

The history of student science continues.

Meeting of the Pediatric Surgery Club

Today, November 30, at the Department of Pediatric Surgery in the RPCH named after Kurayev held a meeting of the SSC on Pediatric surgery. The meeting was attended by A. D. Magomedov, V. T. Ashurbekov, S. P. Patakhov, and F. Meilanova.In, Murtuzaliev Z. N. 

Students, members of the circle told about their research activities, about collecting material for scientific papers. Each of the participants received advice and instructions from the teachers for their scientific research.  

Active training of students is connected with the upcoming main event in the life of every pediatric surgeon-the upcoming 25th Russian (58th “All-Union”) scientific student conference “Current issues of surgery, anesthesiology and resuscitation of children”. The best reports will be presented in Moscow in the spring of next year.

“Student scientific circle at the Department of Pediatric Surgery began its work in the 80s. The research work of students is an integral part of the training of specialists at our university. Every year, the circles give their presentations at student scientific and practical conferences. We hope that our students will continue the traditions of the department with dignity and will successfully perform at the upcoming conference in Moscow,” — said Meilanova Fatima Vofaevna.
