Current outcome of islet and pancreas whole organ transplantation

	Islet transplantation	Pancreas transplantation
Insulin independence rate	25%–50% at 5 years in international cohort studies (~50% in some experienced centers [7,12])	70% at 5 years
Graft survival (fasting C-peptide > 0.3 ng/mL, free of severe hypoglycemia)	~70% at 5 years (75% at 5 years in the French-Swiss GRAGIL group [14])	~70% at 5 years
Success rate according to the clinical setting	Islet alone = islet after kidney = simultaneous islet and kidney	Simultaneous pancreas and kidney > pancreas alone = pancreas after kidney
Morbidity/mortality	Very low procedure complication rate, low mortality	Perioperative morbidity, complications of exocrine pancreas, and late surgical complications
