Core Tip	The history of vascularized pancreas trans-plantation largely parallels advances in surgical tech-niques. Prior to 1995, most pancreas transplants were performed with delivery of insulin to the iliac vein and diversion of the pancreatic ductal secretions to the urinary bladder (systemic-bladder technique). Starting in 1995, however, a seismic change occurred from bladder to bowel drainage of the pancreatic secretions that was spurred in part by the success of enteric conversion. In the new millennium, most pancreas transplants are performed as pancreatico-duodenal grafts with either iliac vein and bowel exocrine diversion (systemic-enteric technique) or portal-enteric drainage. With refine-ments in surgical techniques, exocrine drainage is no longer considered the “Achilles’ heel” of pancreas trans-plantation.
