Abstract:
Objective To analyze the complications,treatments and prognosis of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation,especially on surgical complications and treatments.Method The causes and outcomes of surgical treatment in 70 cases of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation performed between Dec.1999 and June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed in our center.Result Sixteen patients (22.9%) underwent one or more reoperations.The causes for reoperation were as follows:2 cases of hematuria,4 cases of abdominal hemorrhage,4 cases of abdominal infection,4cases of pancreatic thrombosis,2 cases of renal graft's artery rupture,1 case of renal allograft rupture,1 case of intestinal fistula,and 1 case of pancreatic fistula.Eight pancreas grafts were lost in the first year.Pancreatectomy was performed on the other 5 cases:4 cases of pancreatic thrombosis,1 case of intestinal fistula,accounting for 43.8% of the patients subject to reoperation.The recipients,kidney,pancreas survival rate in reoperation group at 1 year was 87.5%,75%,and 56.3% respectively; and that in control group at 1 year was 98.1%,98.1 %,and 98.1 % respectively.There was significant difference in kidney survival rate (P<0.01,chi-square =6.79),and pancreas survival rate (P<0.01,chi-square =17.47) between two groups.Conclusion Although simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation provides a successful and effective treatment for diabetics with end-stage renal disease,surgical treatment due to complications is still an important factor in short-term survival on the grafts.
