What else can I help you with?
What is the purpose of replacing the duodenum during a pancreas transplantation?
Replacing the duodenum allows the pancreas to drain into the gastrointestinal system.
What organs are removed during a pancreas transplantation?
The pancreas and duodenum (part of the small intestine) are removed.
What is whipple surgery and what is it for?
Whipple surgery (AKA Pancreatoduodenectomy) is used to treat cancer of the stomach and pancreas. The gallbladder, head of the pancreas, a portion of the bile duct and duodenum are removed during this procedure.
What physical conditions increase risk during pancreas transplantation surgery?
Diabetes and poor kidney function greatly increase the risk of complications from anesthesia during surgery.
What are the risks of pancreas transplantation?
Diabetes and poor kidney function greatly increase the risk of complications from anesthesia during surgery. Organ rejection, excessive bleeding, and infection are other major risks associated with this surgery.
Why is it beneficial to create bladder drainage during a pancreas transplantation?
The transplant can also be done creating bladder drainage. Bladder drainage makes it easier to monitor organ rejection because pancreatic secretions can be measured in the patient's urine.
What happens in the duodenum during digestion?
The duodenum does not actually produce any digestive enzymes, it produces chemicals that are called buffers. The most important are the Brunner's Glands (duodenal glands) which produce mucus which helps to neutralize the acid in the chyme from the stomach. The pancreas is the gland that actually adds digestive enzymes into the duodenum so that it can digest all three types of food; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
Which part of the eye is transplanted from the donor during eye transplantation?
cornea
How are patients treated after heart transplantation?
Because the chance of rejection is highest during the first few months after the transplantation, recipients are usually given a combination of three or four immunosuppressive drugs in high doses during this time
Why is Bicarbonate is released into the duodenum during the process of digestion?
The statement that bicarbonate is released into the duodenum during the process of digestion is true. The Brunner glands in the duodenum secrete mucus that contains sodium bicarbonate which neutralizes the acid in chyme thereby protecting the duodenum.
What is a Whipple procedure?
The Whipple procedure, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgical operation used primarily to treat pancreatic cancer located in the head of the pancreas. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, the gallbladder, and part of the bile duct, and sometimes a portion of the stomach. The remaining organs are then reconnected to allow for digestion. This surgery aims to improve survival rates and alleviate symptoms associated with pancreatic tumors.
Digestive system connected to?
Urinary is the first that comes to mind...you drink something, then must excrete it via the kidneys/urine. But as I sit here and think about it, the pancreas comes to mind, which is part of the endocrine system as well as digestive... The pancreas is responsible for most of the enzymes that are used during digestion. So I guess it would go endocrine, digestive, then urinary.
