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.

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.

Material And Methods: A randomized prospective study included 115 patients. In the main group (=60), anterior resections were followed by reinforcement of colorectal anastomosis via suturing the muscular and serous layers at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 o'clock.
Objective: To evaluate the influence of reinforcement of staple line of colorectal anastomosis on the incidence of leakage.
Material And Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA recommendations. Statistical analysis was carried out in the Review Manager 5.
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.
In multiple organ procurement, taking into consideration certain peculiarities of the vascular architectonics of the celiac trunk or an iatrogenic injury to the superior mesenteric artery, it is impossible to perform standard arterial reconstruction of a pancreas transplant with the use of a Y-shaped vascular allograft. This results in refusal from transplanting a potentially suitable organ. The purpose of our study was to assess the possibility of transplantation of the pancreatoduodenal complex with isolated blood supply via the splenic artery.

Primary kidney and pancreas graft function was noted in both cases. Two procedures of pancreas transplantation followed by stumpless duodenal exocrine drainage were carried out for the first time.

Material And Methods: Kidney transplantation was performed in 396 patients with terminal renal failure within January 2015 - May 2017. Preventive endoprosthetics (PE) was applied in 28 (7.
The persistent relative high incidence of duodenum-associated surgical complications significantly reduces pancreas grafts' (PG) and recipients' survival rates. A 31-year-old female patient underwent retroperitoneal pancreas transplantation with the use of PG exocrine drainage into the recipient's duodenum via the "button technique" approach. An uncomplicated postoperative period with satisfactory function of both transplants (pancreas and kidney) was noted.

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.
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.
