【Abstract】ObjectiveTo discuss the technique for pancreas transplantation alone(PTA).
MethodsEighty-eight SD rats were used as donors and recipients. The PTA was performed with enteric drainage（E-D group, n=22） or bladder drainage（B-D group, n=22）. The donor’s abdominal aorta(splenic artery) and portal vein(splenic vein) were anastomozed with the recipient’s abdominal aorta(end-to-side) and left renal vein(end-to-end). Blood glucose, food intake, water intake and urine volume were recorded before transplantation and on the 1st day, 3rd day, 7th day, 14th day and 30th day after transplantation.
Results The mean PTA time was (33.1±11.1) min (donors) and (51.7±14.7) min(recipients). The grafts experienced no warm ischemia and the mean cold ischemia time was (46.5±17.1) min. After the successful PTA, the recipients’ blood glucose decreased on the first day after transplantation and reached normal on the third day. Their food intake, water intake and urine volume decreased and became stable 14 days later.
ConclusionSuccessful PTA can restore the pancreatic endocrine function in diabetic rats. It is very important to master the technique for the operation.
