In the difficult times under martial law the faculty members of the Department of Surgery № 1 not only give practical classes remotely with 4th year students of Medical Faculties № 1 and № 2 and International Faculty, but are also actively engaged in medical work. Thus, the Head of the Department, Professor V.I. Liakhovskyi, makes the ward rounds in the Interventional Radiology and Vascular Surgery Units at Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital, which are the clinical bases of the Department, performs the surgical interventions, counselling, and gives consultations for patients. At the above Units Assistants R.M. Riabushko, PhD, and A.V. Sydorenko provides treatment for the patients, performing endovascular and open surgeries. In addition, the faculty members of the Department create appropriate conditions for students of the 4th year of study who wish to participate in the treatment and diagnostic process. For example, Sandip Kasa, a 4th year student, group 44, of the International Faculty, a citizen of India, during the last two weeks in his free time visited operating rooms, where he observed the course of surgical interventions conducted by the staff members, took an active part in clinical examinations and consultations for patients, assisted in bandaging.
