Orthotopic allotransplantation of the pancreas

Islet Cytology in Experimental Pancreatic Transplantation

“…Our findings, which confirm a good insular function of pancreatic grafts, agree with previous studies on the subject [2,12,13,14,15,16,19,24,25,31,32]. Moreover, we have demonstrated that not only the B-cellular system but also the D-and extrainsular endocrine system are well preserved.…”

“…From 1965 onward, several contributions concerning this subject [2,9,12,13,14,15,16,19,21,24,25,28,31,32] have remarkably increased our present knowledge of its technical, biological and functional aspects.…”

Langzeitüberleben nach simultaner Pankreas- und Nierentransplantation

Pancreas and islet transplantation

“…A modification of this technique was used for four of the first five clinical transplants that were reported by Lillehei et al [9]. Largiader et al, in 1967, were the first to transplant successfully an entire pancreaticoduodenal allograft and establish exocrine drainage to the bowel of recipient dogs [16]. They placed the graft intra-abdominally and anastomosed the donor duodenum to a Roux-en-Y loop of recipient jejunum, with vascular anastomosis to the host aorta and inferior vena cava.…”
