maintenance of body
Today there was a feature on Swedish TV about how the body of Pirogov does indeed undergo maintenance, by the same team from Moscow that also care for Lenin's body and some other bodies as well in Russia and a few other countries.

The feature can be seen online. It's in Swedish, English and (probably) Ukrainian: http://www.tv4.se/nyhetsmorgon/klipp/nikolay-ivanovich-pirogov-forst-med-att-sova-patienter-innan-han-opererade-dem-2208275 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.137.100.230 (talk) 11:29, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov → Nikolay Pirogov – No need for the patronymic. Regards. Kürbis (✔) 10:57, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Support You're right unless he's generally referred to with the patronymic, which doesn't seem to be the case. From WP:NCP: "Patronymics... should generally be included in the first line of the article, but are not usually used in the title of the English Wikipedia article." --BDD (talk) 22:18, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and BDD. HandsomeFella (talk) 13:11, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Founder of field surgery?
I wonder where this passive-voice claim is from: "He is considered to be the founder of field surgery." I think Hans Gersdorf's 1517 work "Field Book of Wound Surgery," focusing especially on battlefield injuries, predates Pirogov by more than 300 years.
