[Segmental transplantation of the pancrease from a living donor (an experimental anatomical study)].

The results of the investigation of the blood supply by the splenic vessels of the human and dog pancreatic segment (120 observations) and the results of 98 chronic experiments with pancreatic resection and grafting on the vascular pedicle formed by the splenic artery and vein are presented. Experiments showed transplantation of the caudal pancreatic segment (about 1/5 of the whole organ) to be possible. Resection of the segment failed to affect the dog health. The grafted segment insured normal glycemia in depancreatized dogs.
