He became executive officer of the department of surgery at the same time and served from 1947 to 1964. (The term "chairman" was not used by the school for the head of a department until several years later.)

He specialized in the areas of general and thoracic surgery and produced several works on gastric, geriatric and burn surgical techniques.
