Abstract

Highlights • 75% of pancreas transplantation is SPKT.• The optimal surgical management for graft perforation is still unknown.• Delayed graft duodenal perforation is very rare.• The omega loop may contribute to increased pressure by luminal congestion.• When delayed duodenal graft perforation occurs, graft excision may not be necessary.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
