Kozhikode
Well-known urologist, Roy Chally, 85, who passed away at his residence here on Monday, was the first to perform a renal transplant surgery in a government medical college hospital in the State.
The surgery was conducted at the Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, in 1986 where Dr. Chally was working then, said Felix Cardoza, former Professor, and Head of the Department of Urology. That was a time when such surgeries were performed only in big hospitals in major cities outside the State, he said.
