Abstract. This study presents an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted historical andbiographical investigation of the surgical aspects of Yurii Lypa's medical practice, confirms his place in the history of Ukrainian medicine, and evaluates his contribution to the development of national medical science and practice. Using historical and biographical methods combined with AI-assisted analysis of archival sources and scholarly literature, the study reconstructs the academic environment that shaped Lypa's professional education and clinical training. Particular attention is paid to surgical education at the University of Poznań during 1922–1929, including the organization of clinical instruction, demonstration operations, bedside teaching, clinical ward rounds, and the acquisition of practical skills in operative surgery, asepsis, antisepsis, and surgical technique. The contribution of Professors Antoni Tomasz Jurasz, Franciszek Raszeja, Adam Wrzosek, and other members of the Faculty of Medicine to the formation of Lypa's clinical thinking and professional competencies is examined. The study demonstrates that the clinical education he received at the University of Poznań became the foundation of his subsequent medical practice, scientific interests, and publications on phytotherapy, which combined the achievements of academic medicine with the rational use of medicinal plants. It is concluded that the University of Poznań and its surgical school exerted a profound influence on Lypa's professional development as a physician, military medical practitioner, and representative of the Ukrainian medical intelligentsia during the firsthalf of the twentiethcentury. Particular emphasis is placed on his medical service during the Second World War, his contribution to the development of Ukrainian military medicine, and his promotion of scientifically grounded phytotherapy. The study also substantiates the need for further historical-medical investigations of Lypa'sprofessional legacy through the expanded use of archival materials preserved at the University of Poznań. Overall, Yurii Lypa's medical career illustrates the successful integration of clinical competence, scientific inquiry, humanistic medical values, patriotic service, and professional responsibility.
