Pancreas Transplant

Treatment in Minnesota

More than 200 pancreas transplants have been performed at Mayo Clinic since 1987, when the program began in Minnesota. The program is closely aligned with our large kidney transplantation practice, which has performed more than 2,000 transplants. The partnership of these two efforts yields a comprehensive and experienced transplant team with a strong commitment to research.

As one of the largest referral centers for diabetes care in the world, Mayo Clinic provides an ideal environment in which to care for patients with complex diseases like diabetes. Mayo Clinic's experienced staff, quality facilities, and team approach to health care have brought the program a premier reputation in the field of organ transplantation.

Influenza Recommendations for Transplant Patients

Transplant patients need to take extra precautions regarding seasonal and H1N1 (swine) flu:

  • Get vaccinated now for seasonal flu.
  • Get vaccinated for H1N1 when that vaccine becomes available.
  • Do not use the inhaled flu vaccine for either strain of flu.

Read Mayo Clinic's letter to transplant patients for more details.
