Surgical diseases of childhood

The history of pediatric surgery in Kuban dates back to 1963, when pediatric surgical beds were first allocated as part of the adult surgery department at the cotton mill hospital.In 1966, an independent department of pediatric surgery, traumatology and orthopedics was opened on the basis of the city hospital of the Electrical Instruments Plant, which is currently called the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution KKB SMP.The department was headed by Natalya Dmitrievna Timofeeva, who went through the harsh school of front-line hospitals.

Teaching pediatric surgery in the Krasnodar region began in 1963 at the Department of Hospital Surgery of the Kuban Medical Institute named after.The Red Army, which organized a course in pediatric surgery (head of the department – Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor B.N. Esperov).The clinical base for the pediatric surgery course was 2 pediatric surgery departments of the emergency hospital ZIP.After the opening of the pediatric faculty in 1969, the Department of Pediatric Surgery was created on the basis of the pediatric surgical departments of the emergency hospital and the course of pediatric surgery.Its first head, from 1974 to 1978, was Professor V.M.Bensman.

Almost simultaneously with the formation of the Department of Pediatric Surgery, by order of the Ministry of Health of the RSFSR, in 1974, on the basis of four emergency departments (two children’s surgical departments, traumatology-orthopedics and resuscitation), a center for pediatric surgery was created, which was given the status and functions of an interregional institution with the attachment of the Stavropol Territory, Kabardino-Balkaria and Checheno-Ingushetia.Although the formation of the center did not have financial and personnel support and did not provide for the construction of material and technical bases appropriate for the purpose, it played a positive role in providing specialized surgical care to children in the southern region of Russia.
