Abstract
Pancreatic transplantation is a complex surgical procedure performed for patients with chronic severe diabetes, often performed in combination with renal transplantation. Vascular and exocrine drainage anatomy varies depending on the surgical technique. Radiology plays a critical role in the diagnosis of postoperative complications, requiring an understanding of grayscale/Doppler ultrasound as well as computed tomography and MR imaging. In this review, we detail usual surgical methods and normal postoperative imaging appearances. We then review the most common complications following pancreatic transplants, emphasizing diagnostic features of vascular (arterial/venous), surgical, and diffuse parenchymal pathologic conditions on multiple imaging modalities.
