Approximately 10% to 20% of all annual renal transplantations are retransplantations and up to 20% of patients on waiting lists need a repeat kidney because of previous graft failure. The immunological risk is much greater among retransplanted patients than first-time kidney recipients. It is likely that retransplantation will become even more prevalent in the future.

Single-shot antithymocyte globulin (ATG) prior to reperfusion followed by tacrolimus (TAC), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and prednisolone (PRD) is an established induction therapy in simultaneous pancreas kidney transplant (SPK) recipients. We retrospectively analyzed 6-month data from 105 patients who received their first SPK. From January 1996 to December 2000, ATG-Fresenius was used.

Although the introduction of FK506 and MMF has markedly improved patient and graft outcome after pancreas transplantation, this procedure is still associated with a high surgical complication rate. The aim of the following study was to retrospectively analyze a series of 40 consecutive pancreas transplants with enteric drainage with regard to intraabdominal infection (IAI). Between March 1997 and December 1998 a total of 40 whole pancreas transplants were performed.
