Renal transplant surgery – Then and now

摘要

This year, Singapore General Hospital celebrates 50 years of renal transplantation. As we commemorate this historic milestone, we look back at the surgical journey and remember the pioneers, local as well as international, who have overcome myriad hurdles in performing kidney transplantations. These visionary surgeons have worked hand in hand with our nephrologists to establish renal transplantation as the renal replacement therapy of choice and our hospital as the oldest transplant program in Singapore.
