The Chirurgie and Surgery section initially took place in Sekip Unit II, the Chirurgie and Surgery section head served as an extraordinary lecturer and resided in Bogor and came to Yogyakarta once a month for 1 week to give lectures in subjects: general and specific chirurgie, science nail disease, ophthalmology and surgery. The daily practice is led by an assistant with lecturer supervision, and surgeries on live animals are carried out at the Animal Polyclinic under the leadership of Dr. Asoeng Pranoto and drs.

In 1962, Head of Section of medical science/animal polyclinic, Dr. Asung Pranoto moved to Surabaya to assume the position of Head of the Institution of Veterinary Virology, then the Head of the Medical Sciences Section was held by drh. Wardjiman Notowidjojo until 1972. The position of the next section was handed over to drh. Trihardi, because of drh.
