TIKHOI Platon Ivanovich (1865-1917), outstanding Russian clinical surgeon. Graduated from the medical faculty of Kazan University in 1893, after which he remained as an intern under Professor Razumovsky. In 1897, he became assistant professor at Tomsk University in the department of hospital surgery, which he headed until his death.
In Tikhoi's clinic, a number of operations were developed in detail: transplantation of the ureters into the intestine (dissertation by N. I. Bereznegovsky, 1908), bilateral ligation of the hypogastric arteries in operations for advanced cases of uterine cancer, and others. Tikhoi published over 100 works, of which the most important are: "Tuberculosis of Joints and Bones" (Tomsk, 1909, awarded the Bush Prize); "Abdominal Hernias" (Tomsk, 1914); "Diseases of the Ankle Joint" (chapter in the book--"Russian Surgery", edited by P. Dyakonov, L. Levgaip and others, volume VI, part 54, St. Petersburg, 1909-16); "Injuries and Diseases of the Knee Joint" (ibid., part 52, St. Petersburg, 1915-16); "Private Surgery" (volumes I-III, St. Petersburg, 1916-17).
A feature of Tikhoi's works is the richest original material and the extensive use of works by Russian authors.
