Carl-Gustav Groth was a Swedish transplant surgeon, born on 15 October 1933 and died on 16 February 2014. He studied in Colorado under Thomas Starzl, a pioneer of transplantation, and then returned to Sweden to work at the Karolinska Institute and Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm. There he performed the first pancreas, liver and islet cell transplantation operations carried out in Sweden, so his name is tied to the beginning of these procedures in the country. The source article is short and gives no further detail on his later career, publications or honours, so this entry records only what its opening paragraph supports.
