“…Living donor pancreas transplants begin at Minnesota when the deceased donor graft survival rates were low [13,17,54,74,75]. The technical failure rate was high at the beginning, as were rejection losses except in same living donor PAK cases [56].…”

The incentives for living donor transplants are to eliminate long-wait times for a deceased donor organ and to improve outcomes. With both the incentive is high, but either by itself is sufficient. As the number of pancreas transplant candidates increase, so will wait times for a deceased donor organ. For this reason, living donor pancreas/islet transplant volume will likely increase in the years to come.

“…Lillehei was the lead surgeon in the second pancreas transplant, also done with a kidney (Fig 2). He went on to do a total of 13 cases between the first case of Kelly and 1973, 9 with a kidney and 4 without [5,6]. Significant changes in surgical techniques were made between the first and the second transplant pertaining to graft size (whole organ versus segmental) and duct management (cutaneous duodenostomy versus duct ligation).…”

“…The recipient was on insulin when she died four months post transplant from sepsis. After that series of 13 Pancreas Transplants, R. Lillehei concluded that most complications were associated with kidney graft rejection without pancreas rejection and recipient death [5,6,7].…”

“…Both the American Diabetes Association and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons have approved pancreas transplantation as an acceptable alternative to exogenous insulin therapy in this setting. 1,2 Modern immunosuppression and biopsy techniques have improved the success of pancreas alone (PA) transplantations to the point where the outcome is now equivalent to that of SPK. 3 The favorable results allowed extending the limits for recommending PA transplant.…”

Purpose. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) is an accepted treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and end- stage renal disease. Modern immunosuppression and biopsy techniques have improved the success of pancreas alone (PA) transplantations to the point where the outcome is now equivalent to that of SPK. Methods. From 120 pancreas transplants at Angelina Caron Hospital since 2001, 12 were PA transplants. Results. Patient and graft survival rates at 1 year were respectively 83 % and 75 %. Two patients died due to sepsis in the first and second month after surgery, both with functioning grafts. One graft was lost due to venous thrombosis during the fist transplant week. Patient survival rate was 100 % at hospital discharge. Conclusion. The present report describes our data with PA transplantation with fine results for a limited experience in such transplantation modality.
