From 1922 to 1928 he headed the surgical department in Serpukhov, where he developed extensive practical and scientific work. Here he wrote a number of scientific works, including the monograph 'Spinal Anesthesia' (Serpukhov, 1925), which was awarded the Reina Prize. During four foreign trips, he visited the best clinics in Europe and America; spent over two months in the Mayo clinics. Abroad he published a number of works, including a monograph on transfusion of cadaveric blood. Since 1928 he has been appointed head of the surgical department of the Institute for Emergency Aid in Moscow. Since 1931 he has been confirmed as a professor at the Central Institute for Advanced Training of Physicians of the People's Commissariat of Health. He has over 100 scientific works. The most famous are his works on primary resections of the stomach for perforated ulcers and on issues of anesthesia. In 1930, in his clinic, cadaveric blood was transfused to a living person for the first time (previously this question had been studied experimentally by Shamov). The successful effect of transfusing cadaveric blood served as the beginning of the development of this method, which became practically important as a therapeutic agent.
