Abstract
Introduction. The total number of pancreas transplantations performed in Russia by the end of 2019 had been 176. There are no detailed reports on the number and results of pancreas transplantation in Russia with analysis of factors that significantly affect outcomes.Material and methods. This article presents a retrospective analysis of 60 pancreas transplantation results, which had been performed from January 2008 to July 2019 at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine. In addition, the assessment of factors that significantly affect the outcomes of pancreas transplantations was performed.Results. 17 intra-abdominal pancreas transplantations with duodenoejunoanastomosis and 43 retroperitoneal pancreas transplantations with interduodenal anastomosis were performed. In 52 patients, the pancreas graft after vascular reconstruction with a Y-shaped vascular prosthesis was used; in other 8 patients, the pancreas graft with isolated blood flow through the splenic artery was used. The rates of immunological and surgical complications were 23.3% and 56.7%, respectively. In-hospital and 1-year recipient, kidney and pancreas graft survival rates were 88.3%, 86.4%, 83.3% and 86.6%, 84.8%, and 81.7%, respectively. The factors that significantly affected the outcomes of pancreas transplantation were the conversion of the dialysis therapy modality, the development of parapancreatic infection, repeated open surgical interventions, surgical complications of IIIb-IVa severity grades by Clavien-Dindo Classification, some features of basic and induction immunosuppressive therapy.Conclusion. The results of pancreas transplantation at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine are comparable to the outcomes of pancreas transplantation in most world transplant centers.Keywords
