Operation alone is the act of performing a surgical procedure on yourself. This can be an action taken in extreme circumstances because of need, attempts to avoid embarrassment, legal action, or financial costs, or rare manifestations of psychological disorders.

Genitals

This surgery is generally the least life-threatening. Sometimes people are forced to perform their own operations in the form of castration in an attempt to control their sexual urges, or because of gender dysphoria.

Boston Corbett, the soldier who murdered Abraham Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth, had performed self-operation early in life. She castrated herself with scissors to avoid the temptations of prostitutes. After that he went to a prayer meeting and ate before going for medical treatment.

Stomach

Successful abdominal surgery is very rare. Some well-publicized cases have found their way into the medical literature.

On February 15, 1921, Evan O'Neill Kane conducted his own appendectomy in an attempt to prove the efficacy of local anesthesia for the surgery. He is believed to have become the first surgeon to do so. However, Kane previously performed appendectomy (in others) with local anesthesia. In 1932, he performed a more risky surgery to repair his inguinal hernia at the age of 70 years.
A male student who has committed a self-castration becomes the subject of a 1979 case report by Kalin. The student, some time after his castration, also attempted to reduce the activity of his adrenal glands by injection of bovin serum albumin, luteinizing hormone release hormone and Freund's adjuvant. When this produces an abscess at the injection site, he is forced to perform his own operation. His psychiatrist reported:

At four o'clock in the morning of surgery, he disinfected the dorm room with disinfectant and spray alcohol and draped an area with the previously sterilized bedspread. For anesthesia, he took oral barbiturates. He also takes hydrocortisone and prepares a yawning adrenaline tube, preparing himself for possible shock syndrome. She performed the procedure using sterile gloves and a surgical mask.
Lying on his back and looking into a strategically placed mirror to gain an optimal view, he starts by cleaning his stomach with alcohol. The incision is made with a scalpel, exposure obtained by the retractor, and dissection is performed with a surgical instrument. Lidocaine hydrochloride is injected into each successive tissue layer during opening. It controls bleeding with locally applied gelatin powder, while sterilized cotton yarn ligature is used for larger blood vessels. After eight hours, he lost a little blood but was unable to gain enough exposure to enter the retroperitoneal space due to the unexpected pain in pulling his heart back. Exhausted, he bandaged his wound, cleaned his room, and called the police to be taken to the hospital for "breaking."

In 2000, a Mexican woman, InÃƒÃ‚Ã‚Â® s RamÃƒÆ'rerez, was forced to perform her own surgery - a caesarean section - due to her lack of medical assistance during difficult labor: "She took three small glasses of hard liquor and, using the kitchen knife, cutting his stomach in 3 attempts... cutting the uterus itself longitudinally, and giving birth to a baby boy Both mother and child are reportedly safe and now healthy. "

Supervised medically

Jerri Nielsen was the only doctor assigned to the National Science Foundation, the Amundsen-Scott Antarctic research station in 1999 when she found a lump in her breast. He was forced to biopsy the lump itself. His experience made international news and became the basis for his autobiography, Ice Bound . The lump was found to be cancerous, so he was a self-administered chemotherapy agent. He remained cancer free for several years but died in 2009 after his cancer reappeared and spread to his brain.

Amputation of trapped limbs

In 1993, Donald Wyman amputated his leg with his folding knife after being pinned by a tree.
In 1993, Bill Jeracki was fishing near St. Louis. Mary's Glacier in Colorado, when a large rock pinned her left leg. Snow is predictable and without a jacket or pack, Jeracki does not believe he will be good night. Creating a tourniquet from a flannel shirt and using his knife, he cuts his legs in the knee joint, using the hemostat from his fishing gear to clamp a bloody artery.
In 2002, Doug Goodale cut his own arm at the elbow to survive an accident at sea.

127 Hours

In 2003, an Australian coal miner trapped three kilometers underground by an upside-down tractor cut off his own arm with a box-cutting knife. The 44-year-old man, who was not identified by the police, worked late in the Hunter Valley mine when the tractor overturned, crushing his arm and trapping him.
