A member asked:
Can it be possible for someone to have a pancreas transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is possible to have a whole organ pancreas transplant, in diabetics often done in conjunction with kidney transplantation. It is also possible to have pancreatic islet cell transplantation, which in some cases is considered experimental. The best option would depend on what the problem is with the pancreas and what other treatments are planned.
