Our pancreatic transplantation programme was initiated in 1979.
Since then a total of 102 pancreas transplantations have been
performed, blocking exocrine secretion using the duct occlusion
technique with prolamine. Early non-immunological complications are
frequent. The long-term results (9 years) in combined pancreas and
kidney transplanted patients are satisfying: the survival rate for
pancreas is 38% and 54% for kidney. Patient survival rate in this
period is 85%. Beyond the first year post-transplant the exocrine
activity disappears whereas the endocrine function remains well
preserved.
