“…The development of PT in Brazil occurred more recently and reflects legislation since 1999, regulating pancreas allocation, waiting lists, and government coverage. Few PT publications have come from Brazilian or Latin America centers (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), none covering such a large series. This is the largest PT series ever published from a Latin American Center and represents a 13-yr experience of a single team.…”

Pancreas transplantation (PT) remains a developing practice in Latin America. From 1996 to 2009, 506 PTs were performed by our team in the following categories: simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK), simultaneous deceased donor pancreas and living-donor kidney (SPLK), pancreas after kidney (PAK), and pancreas transplant alone (PTA). Enteric drainage was preferred for SPK and bladder drainage for solitary PT or SPLK. Immunosuppression was with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and steroids, and anti-lymphocytic drugs were used to induce solitary PT and SPLK. The series includes 254 SPK, 60 SPLK, 94 PAK, and 98 PTA. The one-yr patient survivals were 82% for SPK, 90% for SPLK, 95% for PTA, and 93% for PAK. The one-yr pancreas graft survivals were 70% for SPK, 86% for SPLK, 86% for PAK, and 77% for PTA. The one-yr kidney graft survivals were 77.5% for SPK and 89% for SPLK. This represents the largest reported PT series in Latin America. Results comparable to those of developed countries were achieved, with the exception of the SPK category. This has led our program to prioritize solitary PT and SPLK.

Pancreatic transplantation: surgical technique, normal radiological appearances and complications

et al. 2010

Pancreas transplantation is a surgical treatment for diabetes mellitus. More than 23,000 pancreas transplants have now been reported to the International Transplant Registry (IPTR). Early diagnosis and therapy for graft-related complications are essential for graft survival. Radiologists must therefore understand the surgical procedure and the potential complications. During the course of this review, we will illustrate the normal post-operative anatomy and the imaging appearances of common potential complications.
