How a Soviet doctor cut out his own appendix in the Antarctic.



During an expedition to the Antarctic, Russian surgeon Leonid Rogozov became seriously ill.


He needed an operation - and as the only doctor on the team, he realised he would have to do it himself.




Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov (Russian 14 March 1934 - 21 September 2000) was a Soviet general practitioner who took part in the sixth Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1960 -1961.

He was the only doctor stationed at the Station and, while there, developed appendicitis, which meant he had to perform an appendectomy on himself in a case of self-surgery.

The pain was intolerable and he knew he was getting worse.

He recorded his thoughts in his journal:

I did not sleep at all last night.

It hurts like the devil. A snowstorm whipping through my soul, wailing like a hundred jackals.

Still no obvious symptoms that perforation is imminent, but an oppressive feeling of foreboding hangs over me ... This is it ... I have to think through the only possible way out: to operate on myself ... It's almost impossible ... but I can't just fold my arms and give up.

Operating mostly by feeling around, Rogozov worked for an hour and 45 minutes, cutting himself open and removing the appendix. The men he'd chosen as assistants watched as the "calm and focused" doctor completed the operation, resting every five minutes for a few seconds as he battled vertigo and weakness. He recalled the operation in a journal entry:

But conditions can be harsh, especially in the winter where temperatures dip as low as -47C and people have to stay indoors, or risk death.

This means that before going to the base, residents undergo a pre-emptive appendectomy to avoid any emergency situations.

Despite the remoteness of the settlement, it does boast a school, library, post office, radio station, bank and supermarket.

Living in a remote town in the Antarctic already means sacrificing quite a lot.

Officials in the Antarctic village of Villa Las Estrellas on King George Island ask residents to go the extra mile and sacrifice their appendix.

But they have a sensible reason.

According to the BBC, the operation must be carried out on people who plan to stay in the Chilean settlement because the nearest hospital is over 600 miles away.

While there are doctors living on the military and research base, none are specialist surgeons able to treat appendicitis, which requires immediate surgery.

Eleven people have been killed, a million are without power and thousands have been left stranded after a fierce typhoon lashed Japan.

Hundreds more were injured when homes and infrastructure along the west coast were devastated by Typhoon Jebi Japan's most powerful storm in a quarter of a century.

Kansai International Airport one of the country's busiest was cut off when a 2,500-ton tanker smashed into the terminal's sole access road meaning thousands had to spend the night in the partially flooded facility.

This morning, boats were ferrying stranded passengers to the mainland while footage showed a caravan of buses making a perilous trip across the damaged bridge yards from the spot where the ship had crashed into the carriageway amid 135mph winds yesterday.

Runways were flooded as high waves washed into the facility on Tuesday, knocking out electricity and inundating buildings.

This is the last picture Rachael Bland posted on Twitter. It shows her (right) giggling with Radio 5 Live co-hosts and fellow cancer patients Lauren Mahon (centre) and Deborah James (left).


Bland wrote an emotional goodbye message to her social media followers on Monday.




Her husband Steve told the BBC: 'Rachael's death has left a huge hole in our perfect little family that we'll never be able to fill.

'She was an incredibly talented broadcaster as well as a wonderful and much-loved daughter, sister, aunt, niece, wife and, most importantly to her, a mother to her precious little Freddie.

'We all take such huge comfort and pride from the amazing and tireless work she has done since her diagnosis to reduce the stigma around cancer and prove that it is possible to live life to the fullest even when facing huge challenges on a daily basis.

'At the end, even though her body was at its weakest, her voice was at its strongest and most powerful.

'Rachael was and will always be an incredible inspiration to everyone she met. To us, she was perfect in every way and we will miss her more than words can say.

'We just ask that everyone respects our family's privacy as we try and come to terms with losing our beautiful girl.'
