[Pancreas transplantation. A 10-year material].
A programme for pancreas transplantation was initiated in Oslo in 1983. Of a total of 100 transplants so far, 14 were performed as pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) in non-uremic diabetics (n = 9), or as pancreas after kidney (PAK), i.e. in diabetic patients with a functioning renal transplant (n = 5). Duct occluded segmental grafts were used until 1988, when the pancreaticoduodenal technique with bladder drainage was introduced. Since 1991, owing to a low graft survival rate in PAK and PTA cases, all pancreas transplantations have been performed simultaneously with a renal transplant, giving a one-year survival of 82%, 83% and 93% for kidney, pancreas and patient respectively. The authors give a brief overview of the experience gained during ten years, with a pancreas transplant rate of ten/year.
