  • Title: [Simultaneous removal of liver and pancreas does not have an effect on results of transplantation of these organs].
    Author: Schlumpf R, Morel P, Dunn D, Payne W, Sutherland D.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1991 May; 57(6):859-63. PubMed ID: 1889987.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective clinical study we compared the outcome after pancreas and liver transplantation when both organs were retrieved from the same donor to the outcome when only one or the other organ was retrieved. The results in this article demonstrate that simultaneous procurement of liver and pancreas grafts has no detrimental effect on the rate of technical failures, or allograft or patient survival after either pancreas or liver transplantation.
