Dr. Kane propped himself up on the operating table with a mirror over his abdomen and three other doctors in the operating room as backup. Kane made the large incision needed to remove the appendix and his assistants sutured him up.

Because of the close proximity to the femoral artery it was a particularly delicate operation which Kane performed it in just under two hours.
