Abstract
Technical failure of the pancreas graft was a major problem in all categories of pancreas transplant. It dropped in all three categories between the periods of 2001–2005 and 2011–2016, but this improvement was only significant in SPK and PAK. In all three categories, pancreas graft thrombosis remained the major cause of technical failure, whereas the other factors such as infection, pancreatitis, anastomotic leak, and bleeding are accounted for only a small percentage of technical problems.
