title: [Transplantation of the pancreas (author's transl)].
abstract: The indication for pancreatic transplantation currently accepted is juvenile diabetes with renal failure. Up to April, 1, 1975, 39 such transplantations had been performed, including our own 3 cases, and 2 of the 39 patients were living with functioning grafts. Application after total pancreatectomy and especially after cancer surgery cannot be comtemplated for some time. Prerequisites to be fulfilled are the feasibility of inducing tolerance and a low-risk transplantation technique. Patients considered for transplants should be young and their carcinoma should have been treated by radical, total pancreatectomy.
