You can't get a new pancreas because diabetes is a yeast around the pancreas. Taking it out or even replacing it could be dangerous to your health.

What is the percentage of pancreas transplants that are successful?

Pancreas transplants are often done with a kidney transplant, this is called an SPK (Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney) transplant and generally yields higher success than when the pancreas is transplanted alone. Nationally, the one-year success rate of combined pancreas/kidney transplants is 76 percent, but only about 50 percent of the pancreases transplanted without a kidney are still functioning after one year.


5 organs that can be transplanted?

5 organs that can be successfully transplanted?

Heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, pancreas, corneas, and small intestine are all commonly transplanted. Almost everything can be transplanted, it's whether the transplant is "successful" that's the problem. Brains are never successfully transplanted. Faces are only just successful. Limbs can be but usually are not, since they are not essential for life. It is whether the organ is essential for life that dictates whether it is commonly transplanted or not.

Which organs can be transplanted?

Organs that can be transplanted include the heart, the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs- also the cornea of the eye. Up until recently, lung transplantation on it's own was very difficult, and was only succesful if done in conjunction with a heart transplant at the same time. However, in recent years there has been increasing success in transplanting lungs on their own. In the early 1980s, some research was done into pancreas transplantation, but this proved unsuccesful and remains a problem that has yet to be overcome. The one organ that will NEVER be able to be transplanted is the brain- it'll forever be a complete impossibility, and is purely confined to science fiction.
