Who is Jakob Nufer?
Jakob Nufer was a Swiss pig-gelder who, around 1500, reportedly performed the first successful Caesarean section in history in which the mother survived.
His wife allegedly bore five more children, including twins, and the baby delivered by Caesarean section purportedly lived to the age of 77.
However, the story was not recorded until 1582 and many historians question its accuracy.
