Living Donor Pancreas Transplantation

Living donor pancreas transplantation involves a healthy person donating a portion of their pancreas to someone with severe diabetes or pancreatic disease. The goal is to restore normal insulin production, improve blood sugar control, and reduce complications. The procedure requires careful medical evaluation of the donor and recipient to ensure safety and compatibility. The donor's remaining pancreas continues to function normally, while the transplanted part helps regulate the recipient’s blood sugar levels. This option can provide a longer-term solution compared to other treatments, potentially decreasing the need for insulin injections and improving quality of life.
