Kidney transplants are one of the most common transplant operations in the modern transplantology saving annually tens of thousands of lives worldwide. This technique has come a long way of development before reaching the current state. Such world famous scientists and surgeons as Carrel, Landsteiner, Hufnagel and Murray were pioneers of the kidney transplantation. The honorable place among them belongs also to the Ukrainian surgeon Yury Voronoy who performed the first human-to-human renal transplant using cadaver organ. Astonishing is that until recently this fact hasn’t been known to the world medical community.
In the present paper we aim to review the archival literature about Yury Voronoy and present a new independent view at the biography of this prominent surgeon and scientist. We have also tried to describe and analyze the first in the world clinical kidney explantation and allotransplatation to human carried out in 1933 by Voronoy. In addition we had the goal to perform a retrospective analysis of the results of all the kidney transplantations that he performed and evaluate them in respect on their importance for the development of the transplantology. We have also tried to review the researches of this scientist in the other branches of surgery.
Yury Voronoy was not an ordinary person, surgeon and scientist who, despite all the unfavorable political and social circumstances of his time by fate and thanks to the force of his own character, became a pioneer of the world kidney transplantation. The results of the clinical transplantations performed by Yury Voronoy were an important source of the primary knowledge that allowed developing this method for the surgeons of the western countries. Every patient with the transplanted kidney, as a matter of fact, to a certain extent is obliged by his life to Yury Voronoy.
