[A new method of pancreatic transplantation. 1 - Effects on the dog pancreas of the intraduct injection of neoprene (author's transl)].

Injection into the pancreatic ducts of a synthetic liquid gum (neoprene), which polymerises when it comes into contact with the fluid secreted by the gland, would appear to be a simple and effective means of suppressing exocrine secretion of the pancreas in the dog. Endocrine secretion was remained in the short and mid-term. The therapeutic implications of this new technique in the preparation of pancreatic transplants are discussed.
