Pancreatic Transplantation

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Pancreas Transplantation
A procedure designed to halt the progression of severe complications of type 1 diabetes—e.g., diabetic neuropathy or end-stage renal disease—and achieve complete glycaemic control; pancreas transplantation requires harvesting of a large segment or the entire pancreas; donors are usually deceased. Patients with pancreatic cancer are not eligible for transplants, given their dismal prognosis due to almost certain cancer recurrence
Complications Post surgery complications include thrombosis, pancreatitis, infection, bleeding and rejection; the latter mandates immunosuppression for the rest of the patient’s life
