Abstract
With the development of new organ preservation solutions, the application of new immunosuppressive drugs and the improvement of intensive postoperative care, pancreas transplantation has become an ideal treatment for diabetic patients with uremia. According to the International Pancreas Transplant Registry (IPTR) latest statistics, over 30 000 cases of pancreas transplantation have been carried out in the world from 1966 to the end of 2008, of which more than 22 000 cases were implemented in the United States. Complications after pancreas transplantation have been recognized since 1966 when a patient died of rejection and sepsis two months after the first case of pancreas-kidney transplantation. With the extensive development of pancreas transplantation, a better understanding of complications after pancreas transplantation is needed.
