'''Mahesh Desai''' (born May 1944) is an Indian urologist who treats various kidney and urological diseases in India. He performs renal transplants in [[Gujarat, India]].<ref name="ref1" /> He is considered to be the legend of Indian Urology.

== Early life ==

Desai acquired his MBBS in 1966 from [[B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad]] and his M.S. in General Surgery from Pune University. In 1973, he received a fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of London and Edinburgh, where he obtained specialized training in urology. He returned to India to start his practice and establish the importance of modern treatment for various kidney diseases. In collaboration with Dr. V. V. Desai, he established [[Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital]] (MPUH) at Nadiad, a rural area of Gujarat in India. Mahesh Desai’s aim was to help the common man with adequate medical facilities concerning urological diseases.

== Career ==

He treats patients with techniques such as [[percutaneous nephrolithotripsy]] (PCNL), ureteroscopy, and [[extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy]] (ESWL). Desai performed over 14,000 PCNL procedures. Additionally, he expanded the use of ultrasound technology in urology. He also established live kidney transplantation services for the first time in Gujarat. He performed the first renal transplant in Gujarat in 1980. More than 2,100 renal transplants have been carried out successfully at MPUH under his supervision. He also organized the epidemiological survey of prostatic diseases for aging male population in Gujarat.
