Now in its fully revised and expanded second edition, this textbook remains the definitive resource on pancreas transplantation. Enlarged, updated and improved, it consists of 93 chapters over 11 sections, with chapter authors who are recognized international leaders in their fields and represent institutions from five continents.
Since the publication of the original edition in 2004, substantial progress has been made in the field of pancreas transplantation, specifically in regard to standardization of operative techniques and immunosuppression; significant improvements in patient and graft survival rates; and improved diagnosis and therapy of graft rejection and recurrence of disease. Pancreas transplants are no longer primarily performed in the USA and Europe for Type 1 diabetes mellitus; over the past 15 years, they have been performed with increasing frequency worldwide and also for Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The new edition of this textbook covers all aspectsof pancreas transplantation: indications, recipient categories, surgical donor and recipient techniques, living donor transplantation, postoperative management and follow-up, post-transplant complications and malignancies, immunosuppression, treatment and diagnosis of rejection, impact on endocrine function and secondary complications of diabetes, recurrence of disease, quality of life, economic issues and overall outcome results. In addition, state-of-the art chapters focus on the classification, epidemiology and pathogenesis of Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus as well as on other beta-cell replacement therapies including islet auto- and allo-transplantation.
This textbook is the primary reference on pancreas transplantation for transplant surgeons (established and in-training), pancreas and HPB surgeons, diabetologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, pancreatologists and other health professionals with a focus on transplantation and diabetes (cardiologists, neurologists, urologists, ophthalmologists).Rainer W.G.

World Congress of the International Pancreas and Islet Transplant Association (IPITA) in Lyon, France, 02 July – 05 July 2019. According to IPITA, “this biennial award is given since 2011 to an outstanding clinician and/or scientist for their substantial contributions towards advancing the field of pancreas transplantation”. The 2019 Lillehei Award ceremony was one of the few occasions where husband and wife were awarded for their equal scientific contributions. Dr. Angelika Gruessner serves as the Scientific Director of the International Pancreas Transplant Registry (IPTR). Dr. Rainer Gruessner has served as Chairman of the Departments of Surgery at the University of Zuerich, University of Arizona and SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and has directed pancreas transplant programs and performed pancreas transplants for more than 30 years.
