Pancreas Transplant: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

In a pancreatic transplant, a healthy pancreas from a donor is surgically implanted into a patient whose pancreas is no longer functioning normally. The pancreas is a vital organ behind the stomach that produces insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. People with severe type 1 diabetes who have serious problems like kidney damage or who are unable to control their blood sugar levels with existing therapies are the ones who most frequently have this surgery done.
