En el presente artículo se tuvo como objetivo exponer los casos de seis personalidades con instrucción médica que se efectuaron ocho autocirugías entre los siglos XIX y XX. En los casos en los que fue posible se ofreció información adicional de interés sobre ellos. La autocirugía en personal con instrucción médica constituye siempre una hazaña extraordinaria, generalmente consumada por individuos jóvenes motivados por la curiosidad científica o por la necesidad de supervivencia cuando no hay accesibilidad a servicios de salud. Se realizó una revisión de la bibliografía nacional e internacional multilingüe sobre esta temática y sobre historia de la Medicina. La búsqueda bibliográfica comprendió literatura impresa y digital consistente en libros y revistas biomédicas, periódicos, enciclopedias y sitios web.]]></p></abstract>

The aim of this article was to present the cases of six personalities with medical training who performed eight self-surgeries between the 19th and 20th centuries. In the cases in which it was possible, additional information of interest about them was offered. Self-surgery in people with medical education is always an extraordinary achievement, generally performed by young individuals motivated by scientific curiosity or by the survival necessity when there is no accessibility to health services. A review of the national and international multilingual bibliography on this subject and on the history of medicine was carried out.
