Objective  To establish a rat model of pancreas-duodenal transplantation for pancreas transplantation research.
Methods  A rat model of pancreas-duodenal transplantation was established by using dual cuff technique. The graft affiliated portal vein and abdominal aorta were anastomosed to recipient’s left renal vein and left renal artery by using dual cuff technique without clamping the systemic circulation in order to minimize hemodynamic instability. Simultaneously the graft duodenum was anastomosed to the host jejunum in an end-to-side fashion to reestablish drainage of pancreatic secretion. Fluid replacement, warm keeping and anticoagulation were maintained during perioperative period.
Results  The average donor operation time was (68.4±7.2) min and recipient operation time was (26.1±3.3) min. Moreover, it took (5.0±1.1) min for cuff preparation in vitro and (9.6±3.5) min for vessel reconstruction in vivo, respectively. Intestinal anastomosis took (7.2±2.3) min. The operation successful rate was about 91.7%.
Conclusion  This pancreas-duodenal transplantation model avoids systemic circulation clamping. It is simple and stable, with the value in pancreas transplantation research.
