title: [History of the Surgery Clinic at the Slovak University Medical School in Bratislava during the war years (1941-1945)].
abstract: The aim of the present study was to contribute to a good and objective understanding of the development of the Department of Surgery of the Medical School in Bratislava over the war years of 1941-1945. After Prof. MUDr. Kostlivý had left Slovakia, his student, Prof. MUDr. Konstantín Cársky was appointed head of the Clinic of Surgery, as it was officially named. Already during the period of World War II, Prof. Cársky became a remarkable and reknown personality of the School of Medicine of the Slovak University in Bratislava. The first Slovak school of surgery developed under his guidance. On the basis of archival sources and documents, the paper presents statistical data concerning some aspects of the pedagogical activities of the Clinic of Surgery, its staffing, and the complicated process of competence growth, particularly appointments to the highest academic ranks.
