Abstract
PANCREAS transplantation has become an accepted form of therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In particular, simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) has become a widely accepted treatment modality for uremic diabetic patients. From 1980 through December 2000, according to the International Pancreas Transplant Registry (IPTR), there were more than 13,000 pancreas transplantations performed worldwide. The number of pancreas transplantations has been increasing continuously over time with improvement of graft survival. However, a couple of problems still need to be solved following pancreas transplantation, namely the surgical complications and immunologic rejection. We analyzed these problem in our pancreas transplant recipients by studying patient and graft survival rates according to the chronological stages.
