Jump to
Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov (Russian: Леони́д Ива́нович Ро́гозов; 14 March 1934 – 21 September 2000) was a Soviet general practitioner who took part in the sixth Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–1961. He was the only medical staffer stationed at the Novolazarevskaya Station. While there, he developed appendicitis, which meant he had to perform an appendectomy on himself in a prototypical case of self-surgery.
