[Use of the circular stapler for duodenal-cystic anastomosis in pancreas transplantation].

The number of combined transplantations of the pancreas and kidney in type I diabetics with chronic renal failure is increasing every year. The authors present their experience with a new technique of duodenocystostomy during this transplantation. The use of a circular stapler to create the duodenocystoanastomosis can hasten the surgical procedure and reduce at the same time the risk of development of a pancreatic fistula.
