He strenuously studied literature and videos on the treatment of tumour of lobus hepatis dexter and, on this basis, improved his practical ability while taking part in joint operations at hospitals good at operation for liver tumour.  

In this course, he came to acquire surgical skills of high difficulty level and prepare himself theoretically and practically for solving any technical problems arising in intensive cure.

Not content with this, he perfected surgical methods of great clinical value including pancreatoduodenectomy that shortens operation time and rational enterectomy.

He led the researchers of his section through his practical examples.
