Abstract

Pancreatic transplantation as a procedure to achieve normalisation of the perturbed endocrine function in juvenile onset diabetics has increasingly drawn attention in recent years as demonstrated in reports given in this issue. Nevertheless, the frequency of pancreas transplants performed is still small when compared to that of other organs such as kidneys or livers. This discrepancy may be caused from the different intention for transplantation of various organs, since pancreas transplantation is not necessary for immediate life saving, but provides improvement in quality of life by halting the progression of impending secondary lesions associated with diabetes mellitus. In addition, technical problems with transplantation of the pancreas itself evolving from the characteristics of the gland with its complex two-fold endocrine and exocrine function has led to an initial reluctance of physicians to advice patients to undergo this procedure. In view of the recent data [1] reflecting the continuing improvement in the results of pancreas transplantation and the large reservoir of patients with type-1 diabetes as potential recipients, the demand on pancreatic organs for transplantation is likely to increase dramatically. In order to meet this request, it will be necessary to utilize all available cadaver organs through sharing and transportation between transplant centers.
