[Skevos Zervos (1875-1966) and the first transplants of monkey testicles to a man. ].
Professor Skevos Zervos (1875-1966) is esteemed as a great doctor, researcher and humanist as well as a benefactor of hippocratism and a greek patriot. Through this article we try to elucidate his contribution in the field of testicle transplantation where his supremacy is incontestable: indeed he performed the first successful testicle transplantation from an ape to a man in 1910. This fact was officially recognized by Serge Voronoff (1866-1951) .
