Pancreas transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves the implantation of a healthy pancreas from a deceased donor into a patient, typically those with type 1 diabetes, to restore insulin production and improve glycaemic control. This procedure is significant in clinical practice as it can eliminate the need for insulin therapy and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. A key complication is the risk of transplant rejection, necessitating lifelong immunosuppression.
