SUMMARY A technique for pancreaticoduodenal (PD) transplantation in the rat is presented. The rejection reaction in pancreatic grafts in inbred strains of rats is described. The major complication, acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis, can be partially prevented by carefully ligating tributaries in the vicinity of the pancreas, reducing the is chemic time, perfusing with cold saline, and using a no-touch technique.
