چکیده

I am greatly honoured to be invited to give the Scott-Heron Lecture for 1983 but feel very inadequate to follow the distinguished doctors who have preceded me. The interest in the kidney was first aroused by a young woman with bilateral staghorn calculi, while working as a house surgeon with the late Mr. Cecil Woodside. Mr. Woodside was a general surgeon who had a special interest in the kidneys and particularly in renal stones. He removed huge stones from kidneys of the patient, Mrs. Brigid Kelly. Later when they recurred in the left kidney he carried out a left nephrectomy. I am glad to say that the stones did not recur in the remaining kidney and Mrs. Brigid Kelly still remains well with excellent kidney function at the age of 70. Mr. Woodside was greatly interested in the pathogenesis of kidney stones and encouraged me to continue my interest which led eventually to the formation of the Renal Unit at the Belfast City Hospital in 1959.
