Pancreas Transplant

As the site of the first pancreas transplant in Texas, the Transplant Center at Memorial Hermann Hospital-Texas Medical Center has extensive experience in pancreas transplantation for patients with diabetes. Most pancreas transplants are performed simultaneously with kidney transplants for patients with end-stage renal disease as a result of diabetes.

Our multidisciplinary team of highly experienced surgeons and medical specialists, as well as a specially trained team of registered nurses, dietitians, social workers, pharmacists, and transplant coordinators provide outstanding treatment for patients who might benefit from a pancreas transplant or a pancreas-kidney transplant.
