Trasplante de páncreas - Serie

< Back

Cuidados postoperatorios:

Recientemente, se han realizado intentos de aislar exclusivamente los islotes que producen insulina en el páncreas del donante y de inyectarlos directamente al torrente sanguíneo de un paciente diabético para que se alojen en los tejidos y produzcan insulina.

El "trasplante de islotes de Langerhans" es todavía un procedimiento experimental, pero podría algún día ofrecer un tratamiento para la diabetes, pues a diferencia de un trasplante total de páncreas, no requiere de cirugía mayor.
