Abstract:
A new procedure for intraperitoneal pancreas transplantation, donor-pancreatoduodenectomy/receiver-cholecystectomy, is described. The pancreas, with a segment of the duodenum, is placed dorsally in the peritoneal cavity. The portal vein is anastomosed to the sub-hepatic caval vein and the long aortic segment of the graft is anastomosed with the receiver's aorta. Pancreas exocrine excretion is deviated to the receiver's gallbladder via a duodenobladder bypass.
