Abstract
Pancreas surgery is complicated and associated with substantial risks and even danger of death. The surgical removal of the whole pancreas can be necessary for some indications but results in a severe and demanding form of diabetes for both the patients and treating physician. The method of islet autotransplantation involves taking the pancreas immediately after removal to a special laboratory for processing. Using enzymatic digestion and subsequent isolation and purification processes, pancreatic islets that contain the insulin-producing cells are isolated and then returned to the patient. Thereby, insulin production can be preserved and diabetes-associated burden prevented or attenuated. This case report aims to demonstrate a potential indication for simultaneous autologous islet transplantation and the positive implications for patients.
