The Medical University of South Carolina performed its first organ transplant

On Dec. 3, 1968, the Medical University of South Carolina (MCSC) performed its first organ transplant (renal) and the first in the state of South Carolina. The kidney transplant was performed by a team of doctors who, in the years and months preceding the operation, developed an innovative procedure that addressed the body’s acceptance or rejection of foreign matter.
