title: Experimental heterotopic pancreas segment transplantation.
abstract: Autologous and allogenic transplantations of the caudal part of the pancreas into the omentum and the spleen were performed in 18 dogs. The fate of the transplants was followed histologically. In the grafts the Langerhans-islands preserved their integrity longer than in the other parts of the organ, but in 4 to 6 weeks they, too, necrotised.
