Abstract

The survival of pancreas transplantation for treatments of patients with type Ⅰ diabetes mellitus has been improved especially in simultaneous pancreas and renal transplantation.

Various innovations in immunosuppression, management of the pancreatic and exocrine secretion, recipient selection and HLA matching have been contributed to achieve a reasonable outcome in pancreas transplantation compared with other organ transplantation.

Current improved graft survival has stimulated many centers in the world to start pancreas transplantation program.

Since the first successful case of simulaneous pancreas and renal transplantation in my department in 1992, total 7 cases of pancreas transplantation was done, in which 2 cases of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation was performed initially followed by 1 case of sequential pancreas transplantation after kidney transplant, 1 case of living donor pancreas transplant and 3 cases of pancreas transplantation alone.
