Pancreas transplantation
1Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison.
During the past decade, marked improvement has been made in the field of pancreas transplantation. The best results have been obtained in patients receiving a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant using the bladder drainage technique. An overall improvement in the secondary complications of diabetes has been documented in patients receiving successful pancreatic grafts. Pancreatic islet cell transplantation remains largely experimental at this time.
