Perspectives in pancreatic transplantation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Surgery ((DISU,volume 10))

Abstract

Although the ability of pancreatic transplants to establish a normoglycemic insulin–independent state in diabetic humans was shown by Lillehei and Kelly and associates in the late sixties [1,2], technical and immunological problems limited its application for many years. During the past 10 years, however, the cumulative efforts of several international teams have elevated pancreatic transplantation from clinical experimentation to the edge of becoming a routine form of therapy method for selected patients with established or emerging complications of diabetes [3].
