Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) is the preferred treatment for patients suffering from chronic renal failure and the life-threatening complications of Type I diabetes.  Since the early 1990s, when we performed South Carolina’s first SPK transplant, hundreds of patients have benefited from our expertise in this complex procedure.

We also perform pancreas transplants alone (PTA) and pancreas transplants after the kidney has been transplanted (PAK) for patients who have insulin dependent diabetes with severe complications.

Our pancreas transplant outcomes are comparable to the national average, with some of the lowest mortality rates for patients on our wait list. The average waiting time to receive a pancreas transplant is among the shortest in the nation.
