Abstract

Pancreas transplantation provides diabetic patients a means of achieving normoglycemia, improving their quality of life and preventing secondary complications of diabetes mellitus. Pancreas transplant is considered a quality of life improving procedure. Compared to liver, heart, and lung transplants which are life-saving procedures, an improved quality of life comes with the cost of potential morbidity related to the operation and the requirement of life-long immunosuppression.
