[QUOTE="CatsFive, post: 2630987, member: 567227"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pancreas-transplant/what-happens/[/URL] [LIST] [*]A cut will be made in your tummy, from just below your breastbone to below your belly button. [*]The donor pancreas is usually placed in the right side of your tummy and is connected to the blood vessels that carry blood down to your leg. [*]A small portion of the donor's small intestine will be attached either to your small intestine or your bladder to allow digestive juices to drain from the donor pancreas. [*]If you're having a combined pancreas and kidney transplant, the kidney will be placed low down on the left side of your tummy. [*]The old pancreas will not be removed as it will continue to produce digestive juices while the donor pancreas produces insulin. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
