Abstract

More than 30,000 pancreas transplants have been reported to the International Pancreas Transplant Registry from 1966 to 2008. Approximately 22,000 were from the USA [1, 2]. Pancreatic transplantation offers the potential for normalization of blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. The procedure helps to stabilize or reverse many of the complications associated with diabetes, such as neuropathy, and improves quality of life.
