During 1985 to 1990, 67 segmental pancreas transplantations with bladder drainage were performed. Fifty were combined pancreas and kidney and 17 were pancreas after kidney transplants. All patients were transplanted with the same technique. The 1-year actuarial pancreas graft survival for the combined patients with quadruple immunosuppressive therapy was 83% and the patient survival, 95%. The most important complications were infections, leakage from the pancreatico cystostoma and vascular complications.
