Özet:

Until recently, some medical faculties of universities and state-funded teaching hospitals had multiple departments under the name of the same medical specialties. More than one clinic or department (i.e., the Anabilim Dalı) for a certain specialty had occurred at the same time and been named things such as I. Cerrahi Kliniği [First Surgical Clinic], II. Üroloji Kliniği [Second Urology Clinic], III. Dahiliye Kliniği (Third Internal Medicine Clinic). These departments were administratively independent from one another, with each department enjoying a chief of medicine, vice chairs, and research assistants. The dynamics that ensued following their emergence, as well as the rationale and abolition of these now nonexistent organizations, require a distinct comprehensive study. The objective of the current study is to look at the history of foundation and evolution of the İkinci Cerrahi Kliniği [Second Surgical Clinic] at the Ankara University Faculty of Medicine as one these types of departments. Each stage of this department including its foundation was disputed and contentious. Whether one belonged to the Birinci [First] or İkinci [Second] Cerrahi Kliniği particularly mattered even after the surgery clinics combined. A result of this was that studies and contributions from the Second Surgical Clinic were intentionally ignored in favor of the first clinic.
