He is best known for his surgical knowledge and expertise. His greatest contribution to medicine is the Kitab al-Tasrif, which includes thirty treatises on medical sciences. His early and great contributions to the field of surgery were seminal. For his endeavors in this field, a number of surgeons and scholars have dubbed him the "Father of Operative Surgery".
