The life of the Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences S.S. Yudin was inextricably linked with military field surgery. As a volunteer, an ordinary doctor, he participated in the First World War and received his first medical experience there. During the Great Patriotic War, he was the chief surgeon of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute, which was converted into a hospital for the wounded, and a surgeon-inspector under the chief surgeon of the Red Army N.N. Burdenko. In 1942 he was awarded the Stalin Prize, 2nd degree, for his “Notes on Military Field Surgery”, based on the experience of the First World War and an analysis of the actions of European doctors at the beginning of the Second World War. The methods of a solid plaster cast, spinal anesthesia, hemotransfusion, and the use of sulfamides for the treatment of wounds, developed by Yudin and his students, were used during the Great Patriotic War and significantly influenced the treatment of the wounded.
