We designed and performed on two patients a new surgical procedure of en bloc kidney and pancreatic transplantation. The liver, pancreas and kidneys were removed en bloc in the donor. On the bench, the liver and the left kidney were separated from the bloc, leaving the pancreas and the right kidney for combined kidney and pancreatic transplantation. The portal vein was divided near to the emergence of the splenic vein. The coeliac axis was taken with an aortic patch. The left renal vein was cut at its entrance to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the left renal artery was taken with an aortic patch. Reconstruction of the pancreatic vessels was performed with a double anastomosis: the portal vein was anastomosed to the hole in the IVC resulting from the section of the left renal vein and the splenic artery was anastomosed to the hole in the aorta resulting from the section of the left renal artery. The proximal ends of the aorta and IVC were closed with running sutures. In the recipient, the iliac vessels on the right side were dissected. Anastomosis of the distal part of the aorta and the IVC was performed with the right iliac vessels. Duodenocystostomy and reimplantation of the ureter were done according to the usual techniques. This new surgical technique allowed an easy vascular reconstruction of the pancreatic vessels. In the recipient, only one side was used for renal and pancreatic transplantation. Moreover, the length of the transplant procedure was significantly reduced.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003928 Diabetic Nephropathies KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
