[Pancreatic harvesting from multiorgan donors for islet transplantation].
The result of human islet isolation procedures to transplant in type I insulin-dependent diabetic patients is significantly conditioned by the technique used for pancreas procurement from multiorgan donor. In fact, during multiorgan procurement, an improper handling of the gland could result in edema or degranulation of the acinar tissue, detrimental for the islet purification step. The surgical technique used by our surgical team, includes some important refinements to obtain the largest quantity and the best quality of purified endocrine material.
