Self-surgery is not new. Most famously, a Soviet doctor performed his own appendectomy in 1962 because there was no one else available in Antarctica to do it.
Dr. Chen Wei-nong, though, performed a less time-sensitive operation: a vasectomy. Oddity Central tells us that this plastic surgeon in Taiwan performed his own vasectomy, recorded it, and then posted the video online. I can confirm that this video is indeed available, should you wish to watch it.
Although a vasectomy normally takes 15 minutes, Dr. Chen is not a urologist, so figuring out the procedure and completing it took him a full hour. He suggests that men seeking to follow his example instead have it performed by a urologist.
