Samuel Lee Kountz Jr. was a pioneering African-American kidney transplantation surgeon born on October 30, 1930, in Lexa, Arkansas. He is most renowned for performing the first successful kidney transplant between non-identical twins in 1961 at Stanford University Medical Center. His significant contributions to renal science include the development of the Belzer kidney perfusion machine, which revolutionized kidney preservation for transplantation. This device allows kidneys to be preserved for up to 50 hours, becoming standard in medical practice globally. Kountz's work greatly advanced the field of organ transplantation before his death on December 23, 1981.
