title: Distal transplant pancreatectomy during SPK: successful clinical outcome.
abstract: Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) is considered an extremely effective and well-established therapeutic option for selected patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), secondary to type 1 diabetes. Vascular complications in pancreas transplantation are more common than in any other solid organ transplant. Thrombosis is the most frequently observed surgical complication of pancreatic transplantation. We report a case of a successful management regarding the thrombosed distal pancreatic segment during SPK transplantation.
