| Core Tip |
This review explores the disparities in pancreas transplantation in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared to high-income countries (HICs), emphasizing challenges like economic constraints, cultural beliefs, and limited healthcare infrastructure. Highlighting the importance of donation after brain death (DBD), as well as differences in outcomes of procedures such as simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK), pancreas-after-kidney (PAK), and pancreas-transplant alone (PTA) procedures between HICs and LMICs, it calls for increased research and collaboration to promote surgical equity. Collaborating with the European Union of Medical Specialists could support LMICs in establishing robust DBD programs, ultimately improving SPK, PAK, and PTA access and outcomes. |
