Can the pancreas be transplanted?

The pancreas is in a special location with both endocrine and exocrine functions, and is medically transplantable when surgical treatment is ineffective and strongly desired.
The endocrine pancreas produces two hormones that can control blood sugar, glucagon and insulin, and the exocrine pancreatic fluid has the effect of helping to digest food. Transplantation is theoretically possible, but the requirements for recipients are very high, generally need to be within the age of 18 to 45 years old, have a primary disease is well controlled, no cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.
Transplantation of the pancreas can be a single transplant or combined with other organs, such as the duodenum, kidneys, etc. It is to move part of the segmented pancreas into the recipient so that it can further gain its function, and the transplantation is clinically possible, so you can consult with your medical professional for specific advice.
