    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Transplantation Surgery

    Context:

    • Pancreas transplantation is a well-established therapy for diabetes mellitus.
    • Simultaneous kidney-pancreas (SPK) transplantation addresses both diabetes and end-stage renal failure.
    • Global pancreas transplantations increased significantly from 1965-1986 and continued through the 1990s.

    Purpose:

    • To review the characteristics, indications, techniques, and complications of SPK.
    • To detail donor criteria and recipient preoperative evaluation for SPK.
    • To present the initial experience with 11 SPK cases at Doce de Octubre Hospital.

    Summary:

    • The study analyzed 11 SPK cases in patients with end-stage diabetic renal failure (ages 24-43).
    • Eight patients had diabetic retinopathy; one died post-transplant, and another required graft removal due to thrombosis.
    • Eight recipients became insulin-free, and one required minimal insulin, with no transplant-related deaths despite two Mucor infections.

    Impact:

    • SPK transplantation demonstrates significant success in managing diabetes and renal failure.
    • The procedure can lead to insulin independence and improved patient outcomes.
    • Careful patient selection and management of complications are crucial for successful SPK outcomes.
