Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Pancreas Transplant. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
A pancreas transplant is a major surgical procedure in which a healthy pancreas from a deceased donor is placed into a person whose own pancreas can no longer produce enough insulin to control blood sugar. It is performed primarily for people with long-standing type 1 diabetes who have developed serious complications — such as kidney failure, dangerous low blood sugar episodes without warning, or wildly unstable blood sugar that cannot be managed safely with insulin and modern devices. The three main types are simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPK, the most common), pancreas after kidney (PAK), and pancreas transplant alone (PTA). A successful transplant restores the body's own insulin production, often eliminating the need for insulin injections entirely, though lifelong immunosuppressive medication is required to prevent the immune system from rejecting the new organ. Surgery takes four to six hours and is followed by an ICU stay and a total hospital stay of two to three weeks.
Both a pancreas and a kidney from the same deceased donor are transplanted in a single operation — the standard choice for patients who have both diabetes and kidney failure.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,500
