A simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplant (SPK) is a major operation in which a healthy pancreas and kidney from the same deceased donor are placed into a recipient during a single surgery. It is performed almost exclusively in adults with type 1 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease, offering the possibility of life free from both insulin injections and dialysis at the same time. The donor organs are placed in the lower abdomen and connected to the recipient's blood vessels and digestive or urinary tract through an open abdominal incision; the patient's own organs are usually left in place. SPK is a long and complex procedure — typically six to twelve hours — followed by an intensive care stay and a total hospital admission of around two to three weeks. For suitable candidates, outcomes at experienced transplant centres are generally good, with most recipients having functioning grafts at one year and a significant proportion maintaining graft function for five years or more.
