Jakob Nufer
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Jakob Nufer was a Swiss pig-gelder who, around 1500, reportedly performed the first successful Caesarean section in history in which the mother (his wife) survived.[1]
His wife allegedly bore five more children, including twins, and the baby delivered by Caesarean section purportedly lived to the age of 77.[2]
However, the story was not recorded until 1582 and many historians question its accuracy.[3]
