Introduction
RENAL DISEASE, SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS
Simultaneous pancreas kidney (SPK) transplantation is an invaluable procedure to enhance the quality of life of insulin-dependent patients with advanced renal disease. The creation of vascular anastomoses of the donor’s pancreas vessels to the recipient’s, is of utmost importance to predict the graft outcome and surgical complications. In the study we introduce a novel technique for arterial reconstruction during SPK transplantation.
