In 1960, the 27 years old Soviet Leonid Rogozov was assigned as a
doctor for the Novolazarevskaya base in the Antarctic . Unfortunately, he
discovered that he is having acute appendicitis and due to the absence of a
support aircraft and inclement weather, he had to perform surgery on himself. The
Novolazarevskaya base’s team members helped him during the operation by passing the surgical implements and holding the mirror. After 1 hour and 45 minutes;
the doctor had completed the operation and in two weeks he made a full recovery
and resumed all duties.
