A member asked:
What pain is associated after an islet cell transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal: Islets of langerhans are the small subunits of the pancreas that contain Insulin secreting cells. They are prepared in a "slurry" that is injected through a vein into the liver or occasionally another site. No pain is associated with their final location. The only pain may come from the actual injection site - just like any injection.
