[Technics and results of pancreas transplantation].

Long-term normoglycaemia cannot be achieved in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus neither with conventional nor with intensified insulin therapy. The only ideal method to obtain this seems the islet cell or pancreas transplantation. The number of pancreas transplantation approaches 5000 all over the world. The first simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation in Germany was performed in 1979 by the Munich group. Till 1991 in Grosshadern 141 pancreas transplantations have been performed. At the beginning duct occlusion (n = 106) later bladder drainage (n = 35) were used as a standard procedure. The authors discuss in detail the indications and contraindications, the types of pancreas transplantation, the different diversions of exocrine secretion. They analyse the effect of pancreas transplantation upon diabetic metabolism, retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and quality of life, based on own experiences and literary data. At present the indication for pancreas transplantation is the stadium of late complications in IDDM. Because of the definitive lesions its beneficial effect is limited. After successful transplantation the peripheral (and autonomic?) neuropathy improves, the retinopathy seems to remain stabile, and the pancreas protects the transplanted kidney against recurrent diabetic nephropathy. Most patients will become insulin independent with tight metabolic control, but the complications of immunosuppressive therapy must be taken into consideration. The working ability and the quality of life seem to improve considerably.
