ABSTRACT

Systemic-enteric drainage is currently the most common technique for pancreas transplantation (PT). A novel alternative technique, portal-duodenal drainage (PDD), has potential physiological benefits and provides improved monitoring of the pancreatic graft. The current study describes 53 solitary PT procedures (43 pancreas after kidney and 10 pancreas transplant alone) using the PDD technique over the last three yr. This method resulted in one-yr patient survival at 96% and 83% graft survival. There were five cases (9.4%) of thrombosis, in which transplantectomy and two-layer closure of the native duodenum were performed. No fistulas were observed. Here, we demonstrate that the PDD technique in PT was as safe and effective as current techniques in clinical use.

ABSTRACT

Pancreas transplantation (PT) remains a developing practice in Latin America. From 1996 to 2009, 506 PTs were performed by our team in the following categories: simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK), simultaneous deceased donor pancreas and living-donor kidney (SPLK), pancreas after kidney (PAK), and pancreas transplant alone (PTA). Enteric drainage was preferred for SPK and bladder drainage for solitary PT or SPLK. Immunosuppression was with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and steroids, and anti-lymphocytic drugs were used to induce solitary PT and SPLK. The series includes 254 SPK, 60 SPLK, 94 PAK, and 98 PTA. The one-yr patient survivals were 82% for SPK, 90% for SPLK, 95% for PTA, and 93% for PAK. The one-yr pancreas graft survivals were 70% for SPK, 86% for SPLK, 86% for PAK, and 77% for PTA. The one-yr kidney graft survivals were 77.5% for SPK and 89% for SPLK. This represents the largest reported PT series in Latin America. Results comparable to those of developed countries were achieved, with the exception of the SPK category. This has led our program to prioritize solitary PT and SPLK.
