Research advances in total pancreatectomy with autologous islet cell transplantation / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Since the 1970s， patients with chronic pancreatitis （CP） have benefited from total pancreatectomy with autologous islet cell transplantation （TPAIT）. With the continuous development of surgical techniques and perioperative management over the past few decades， there have been improvements in islet cell function， insulin independence rate， and the survival rate of patients. This article summarizes the preoperative indications for TPAIT， the development of surgical operations， postoperative management and monitoring， and prognosis， so as to help clinicians learn more about TPAIT.
