Pancreatic transplantation is the best method of replacing the endocrine function of the gland in Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic patients. At the end of 1996, 9,000 pancreas transplants had been reported to the international Pancreas Transplant Registry. For 1994-1996, one-year pancreas survival rates were 81% for simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (n = 1,516), 71% for pancreas after kidney (n = 141) and 64% for pancreas alone (n = 64).

We have investigated the metabolic effects of segmental (neoprene-injected) pancreas transplantation versus whole (enteric-diverted) pancreas transplantation. Seventeen uremic insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients received a simultaneous pancreaticorenal transplant: in a prospective, randomized study, 9 patients received a segmental neoprene-injected graft (group A) while 8 patients received a total pancreaticoduodenal graft, with enteric diversion (group B). The immunosuppressive therapy was based on ALG, CsA, azathioprine, and steroids.
