The
Department of General Surgery at the Institute of Medical Sciences was
established by the founder Professor K.N. Udupa in 1962. Since then
eminent surgeons have glorified this department with their contribution
in clinical innovation, and research, and have raised its fame
worldwide. Today this department stands tall in the country as well as
in the international arena for its patient care, academic training and
research activities. It has attracted cream students from the country
and abroad for its well structured academic programs and congenial
environment so conducive of teaching and learning. Most young surgeons
after successfully completing their residency have made this Department
and the Institute proud by their achievements nationally and
internationally. Presently the department is attached to the University
hospital which is a tertiary care center in eastern Uttar Pradesh and
provides excellent patient care services and performs various
sophisticated surgical procedures.
