Cover Story: Since the first pancreas transplant in 1966, over 67,000 pancreas transplants have been performed worldwide, and the number of such procedures is growing. While the number of transplants in the US has changed only slightly over the past decade, many countries outside the US have shown strong growth in transplant numbers. Only during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 did transplant numbers decline, but they started to recover in 2022. This development over time is due to excellent patient and graft survival after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant (SPK). The main reasons for the advancement in outcomes are reductions in technical failures and immunological graft losses. These improvements are due to better patient and donor selection, the standardization of surgical techniques, and superior immunosuppressive protocols. View this paper
