Abstract
Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation is the best treatment of choice for patients with type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal failure. Despite the well-known technique of kidney transplantation, there is no general consensus on the most efficient technique for pancreas transplantation. Successful outcome of pancreas transplantation largely depends on the operating surgeon’s expertise and donor organ quality. However, donor organ quality is getting worse than before due to the worldwide epidemic of obesity. One aspect to improve is the surgical technique during which the organ is prepared and transplanted. In this article, we report a new surgical technique for pancreas transplantation to retroperitoneal region with enteric drainage by only a few centimeters of peritoneal violation and describe the possible advantages of this technique.
