| Summary: | The late Prof. Kyeok Boo Han (1913–2005) was one of the pioneers in the early stages of the establishment
of thoracic surgery in Korea. He was in charge of thoracic surgery at Seoul National University Hospital from
1948 to the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. He presented a thoracic surgical case entitled “Adhesive

Korea) Medical Association, held in 1947. This presentation is considered to be the first thoracic surgical
case presented by a Korean surgeon at a domestic medical meeting after t he National Liberation from
Japanese colonial rule in 1945. In this regard, this study was intended to analyze the content and the meaning
of the case, published in a journal in 1948. |
