What is the success rate of a kidney/pancreas transplant?
Over the last 15 years, ground-breaking advances in transplantation at Toronto General Hospital continue to deliver high patient survival rates, long term glucose control and an excellent quality of life for patients suffering from Type 1 Diabetes and end stage renal failure. The Toronto Pancreas Transplant Program has performed more than 285 pancreas-kidney and pancreas-after-kidney transplants to date. Advanced surgical techniques, modern immunosuppressant therapies and world class patient-centred care help to ensure high success rates (>95 percent in the first year).
