Abstract
Although cadaveric pancreas transplantation has been increasingly applied in an attempt to ameliorate diabetes mellitus, and surgical techniques have recently improved, rejection remains a major obstacle to long-term success. Transplantation of segmental pancreas allografts from living related donors has been considered as a viable alternative to cadaver transplantation, because the histocompatibility differences between donor and recipient would be reduced and, as in living related kidney transplantation, they should have better survival rates than cadaver transplants [1, 2]. In addition, in normal individuals, 50% of the pancreas may be removed without the induction of diabetes mellitus.
