Summary

Pancreas procurement for transplantation maintains high standards, with most organs usable. Donor pancreas quality assessment during back-table preparation is crucial, though few organs are withdrawn due to issues like liposis.

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation immunology
  • Organ procurement and preservation
  • Surgical techniques

Context:

  • Combined pancreas and kidney transplantation is a standard procedure for type 1 diabetics with kidney failure.
  • Simultaneous recovery of liver and pancreas is possible with current procurement techniques.
  • Assessing organ quality post-procurement remains a challenge.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the quality assessment and withdrawal rates of pancreas grafts during back-table preparation.
  • To analyze reasons for pancreas graft withdrawal in a large cohort.
  • To assess the overall standard of pancreas procurement in the Eurotransplant region.

Summary:

  • Between 1994 and 2003, 271 pancreas transplantations were performed.
  • 262 (89.7%) pancreas grafts were procured by external teams.

  • Only 8.0% of pancreas grafts were withdrawn during back-table preparation, primarily due to liposis or critical vessel situations.

    • Impact:

    • The study demonstrates a high standard of pancreas procurement in the Eurotransplant region.
    • Effective organ quality assessment protocols minimize graft wastage.
    • High graft utilization rates improve outcomes for patients with type 1 diabetes and uremia.
