Pancreas transplantation has rapidly moved from an experimental
procedure associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality to
a mainstream technique with excellent patient and graft survival.
Over 30,000 pancreas transplants have already been performed. The
value of pancreas transplantation however must be balanced against
the risk of the operative procedure and the innovative long-term
immunosuppressive therapy. The indications for this procedure and
the selection of the patients are critical to ensure low mortality
and any improvements in quality of life.
This second edition reflects recent advances in the field,
especially the increasing number of islet transplantations and the
growing interest in stem cell research applicable to this
condition. It provides an authoritative account on the current
status of the whole organ pancreas transplantation and islet and
pancreatic stem cell transplantation.
