Postoperative Complications in Pancreatic Transplant

Postoperative complications after a pancreatic transplant refer to issues that can arise after the surgery. These may include infections, bleeding, or clot formation, which can occur at the surgical site. There’s also a risk of the transplanted pancreas not functioning properly (known as graft failure) or the patient experiencing complications related to diabetes management. Additionally, the use of immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection can increase the risk of infections and other health problems. Close monitoring and follow-up care are essential to address any complications that may develop during recovery.
