is there any transplant treatment of pancreas in India?
Till date I hv not heard of pancreas transplant any where. If some one gets info...pl inform..
Dr Lloyd Vincent, who was part of the surgical team in Bangalore's Narayana Hrudayalaya that did the first pancreatic transplant in India, said a pancreas transplant can be carried out in three ways. In a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant, both the pancreas and kidneys are transplanted. This is the most common type. In a pancreas-after-kidney transplant, a person first receives a kidney transplant from a living donor. This is then followed by a pancreas transplant from a recently deceased donor. In a pancreas-alone transplant, only the pancreas is transplanted.
Pancreas transplant is rarely done alone. It is almost always done when someone with type 1 diabetes also needs a kidney transplant.
