Emeritus Consultants Biographies
Ralph Jackson Cato graduated in Melbourne in 1931 and immediately afterwards returned to Perth as an RMO at the Royal Perth Hospital. From 1934-36 he served with the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Wyndham. In 1934 he obtained Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons Edinbrough. His association with the Royal Perth Hospital was renewed in 1951 when he joined the Urology Unit. In this he served until his retirement in 1968. He is known locally for developing a surgical operation to relieve incontinence in women. The technique has been subsequently copied elsewhere, but unfortunately the originator of the method has been largely ignored in the world literature. He has given freely of his time to the Society of St John of Jerusalem obtaining high rank in that order. Ralph has a son active in surgical practice in Melbourne. |
