[Attempts at transplanting the pancreas (author's transl)]

Two techniques are competing for pancreatic transplantation. One is auto-transplantation of the islets after mechanical slicing and treatment with collagenase, the resulting produce being injected into the portal vein, and the other consists of transplanting a pancreatic segment obtained from cadavers or live donors by obliteration of the ducts with glue. The latter seems to be preferred.
