Abstract
- Pancreas transplant is one of the known most effective treatments for type 1 diabetes mellitus and is associated with improved survival and quality of life for patients. Most centers use a direct side-to-side anastomosis between the donor's duodenum and jejunum, and we describe a rare complication that affected 2 patients. The 2 patients each received a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant and presented with side-to-side duodenojejunal anastomosis volvulus. We describe the clinical and radiological presentations and then propose an effective management method. Side-to-side duodenojejunal anastomosis volvulus after pancreas transplant is an exceptional complication, and there are special radiological and surgical manage-ment techniques to allow efficient treatment.
