Fyodor Uglov (1904-2008) was a Soviet and Russian surgeon, an academician and a public figure.
Fyodor Uglov was born on September 22 (October 5), 1904, in the village of Chuguevo of the Irkutsk Province. He was educated at the Medical Faculty of the Saratov State University.
Since 1950, F. Uglov headed the Department of Hospital Surgery in the Pavlov First Medical Institute.
On April 8, 1946, for the first time in the USSR, he successfully performed a surgery operation of elimination of two lobes of the right lung. He was the first in the world to invent a new incision for heart surgery, which permits only to fold back temporarily the chest wall protecting the heart to expose the organ instead of its extraction.
In 1994, he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest practicing surgeon in the history of medicine.
The postage stamp provides a portrait of Fyodor Uglov against the background of an operation under his guidance.
