Abstract:
Objective To probe the indication, technique and effect of combined liver pancreas transplantation. Methods Donor organs were harvested by the technique of total abdominal evisceration. Simultaneous orthotopic liver and heterotopic pancreas duodenum transplantation was performed in one patient diagnosed as having chronic hepatitis B, hepatocirrhosis, hepatic cellular cancer, and insulin dependent diabetes. Liver and pancreas graft function was monitored after transplantation. Results The recipient recovered with excellent allograft function, and insulin independence was achieved without any surgical complication. Conclusion End stage liver disease with concomitant insulin dependent diabetes is the indication for combined liver pancreas transplantation.
