Pancreas Transplantation at Onus Robotic Hospitals
Restoring Hope Through Advanced Pancreas Transplant Procedures
At Onus Robotic Hospitals, we offer Pancreas Transplantation as a life-changing solution for patients suffering from pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, or end-stage pancreatic failure due to diabetes or other severe pancreatic disorders. Our expert transplant surgeons, oncologists, and multidisciplinary care teams work together to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Who Can Benefit from a Pancreas Transplant?
A pancreas transplant is recommended for patients who:
✅ Have pancreatic cancer in its early stages where a transplant may be a viable treatment option.
✅ Suffer from chronic pancreatitis that has severely affected their quality of life and digestion.
✅ Have severe Type 1 Diabetes that is unmanageable despite medical treatment.
✅ Experience pancreatic endocrine dysfunction leading to critical metabolic imbalances.
✅ Have undergone a total pancreatectomy due to cancer or other diseases and need pancreatic function restoration.
Types of Pancreas Transplant Procedures We Offer
Whole Pancreas Transplantation
✔ Performed in patients with severe pancreatic failure due to cancer, pancreatitis, or diabetes.
✔ Involves replacing a diseased or non-functional pancreas with a healthy donor pancreas.
✔ Recommended for cases where the entire pancreas is affected by cancer or disease.
Partial Pancreas Transplantation
✔ Suitable for select patients with localized pancreatic tumors or partial pancreatic dysfunction.
✔ A portion of a donor pancreas is transplanted to restore pancreatic function while preserving part of the original pancreas.
Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney (SPK) Transplant
✔ Best for patients with both diabetes and kidney failure.
✔ A healthy pancreas and kidney are transplanted together, eliminating the need for dialysis and improving metabolic function.
Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation
✔ Performed for patients with pancreatic insufficiency who do not require a full transplant.
✔ Involves transplanting insulin-producing islet cells from a donor pancreas into the recipient’s liver, where they begin producing insulin naturally.
✔ Minimally invasive, with faster recovery and fewer complications compared to whole pancreas transplantation.
The Pancreas Transplant Process at Onus Robotic Hospitals
Step 1: Evaluation & Pre-Transplant Workup
✔ Comprehensive medical tests, including blood tests, imaging, and pancreatic function assessment.
✔ Cancer staging and treatment evaluation for patients with pancreatic cancer.
✔ Psychological and nutritional counseling to ensure holistic patient care.
Step 2: Finding a Suitable Donor
✔ Pancreas transplants are typically performed using organs from deceased donors who match the patient’s medical criteria.
✔ In some cases, living donor pancreas transplantation is possible for partial transplants.
✔ Matching is done based on blood type, tissue compatibility, and overall health factors.
Step 3: The Transplant Surgery
✔ Performed using robotic and minimally invasive techniques, whenever possible, for faster recovery.
✔ The diseased pancreas is partially or fully removed and replaced with the healthy donor organ.
✔ The new pancreas is connected to the patient’s digestive system and blood vessels to restore insulin production and enzyme secretion.
Step 4: Post-Transplant Care & Recovery
✔ Close monitoring in the ICU and specialized transplant recovery unit.
✔ Immunosuppressive medications are given to prevent organ rejection.
✔ Regular follow-ups with oncologists, endocrinologists, and transplant specialists to ensure optimal recovery.
✔ Nutritional guidance and lifestyle modifications to support long-term health.
