title: Extra-abdominal transplantation of the pancreas.
abstract: Extra-abdominal pancreatic transplantation is a feasible surgical procedure. Transplantation of the pancreas without duodenum and with pancreatic duct-to-ureter anastomosis had better results than combined pancreaticoduodenal transplantation in the same position. The alternative extra-abdominal approach offers more definite advantages, such as ease of performance, location and identification of complications, than does the usual intra-abdominal technique.
