Core Tip	Pancreas transplantation offers select patients with diabetes significant survival benefits alongside improvement in cardiovascular and metabolic complications. These benefits are most pronounced in patients receiving pancreas transplants as part of simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplants; however, pancreas transplants alone or pancreas after kidney transplants are also available. These surgeries carry certain risks and challenges, both medical and logistical, that have contributed to the recent decline in pancreas transplantation.
