Retroperitoneal pancreas transplantation with a Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy for exocrine drainage.

Background: Pancreatic transplantation is the only definitive surgical treatment for diabetes mellitus. Currently, most transplant centers use enteric exocrine drainage of pancreatic secretions; however, experts disagree on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is preferable for enteric anastomosis. We analyzed the outcomes of retroperitoneal pancreatic transplantation with enteric drainage of pancreatic secretions.

Renal cell carcinoma in a transplanted kidney: a retrospective evaluation.

Introduction: Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment modality for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease. The long-term mortality of kidney recipients is 48-82% lower than that of patients on the waiting list. However, the risk of developing malignancies in these patients is twice as high as in the healthy population.

Pancreas transplantation with isolated splenic artery blood supply - Single center experience.

Background: The blood supply of the native pancreas by three arterial lines from the celiac trunk system (splenic artery and common hepatic artery) and the superior mesenteric artery forces surgeons to perform vascular reconstruction to provide sufficient intra-organ blood flow into the graft. The purpose of our study was to assess the possibility of pancreas transplantation with an isolated splenic artery blood supply.

Methods: From January 2012 to July 2018, simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) was performed in 21 patients.

Endoscopic findings following retroperitoneal pancreas transplantation.

Aim: An evaluation of the efficacy of endoscopic methods for the diagnosis and correction of surgical and immunological complications after retroperitoneal pancreas transplantation.

Materials And Methods: From October 2011 to March 2015, 27 patients underwent simultaneous retroperitoneal pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT). Diagnostic oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with protocol biopsy of the donor and recipient duodenal mucosa and endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) were performed to detect possible complications.

Surgical complications after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation: A single-center experience.

Background: We investigated the rate of early surgical complications after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) and their impact on both grafts and recipient survival.

Materials And Methods: The retrospective analysis of typical pancreas-related complications, different methods of correction, and their efficacy were performed. Data describing pancreas transplant recipients were drawn from our SPKT waiting list.
