Abstract:
:Pancreas transplantation is being performed with increasing frequency and increasing technical success. The availability of new immunosuppressant agents has been associated with a reduction in the previously high rates of allograft rejection in recipients of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants. These lower rejection rates have, in turn, led to changes in surgical techniques and a resurgence of interest in isolated pancreas transplantation--either in nonuremic patients or, more commonly, in patients who have already received a prior kidney transplant. Pancreas transplantation has emerged as an important option for the management of patients with type I diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy.
