Distal Pancreas Donation from a Living Relative

  • Chapter
Manual of Vascular Access, Organ Donation, and Transplantation

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Manuals of Surgical Specialties ((CMSS))

Abstract

Pancreatic grafts, like those of other whole organs, are susceptible to rejection. Genetic similarities between relatives, therefore, favor the use of related segmental grafts whenever possible to lessen the likelihood of rejection. On the other hand, the whole pancreas can be used from a cadaver, thereby providing greater functional reserve and a greater rate of blood flow which protects against graft thrombosis. The ethical decisions seem similar to those that concern the kidney donor.1–3
