Abstract
Early readmission after TPIAT is common (one in four patients), underscoring the complexity of this procedure. Early readmission is not detrimental to islet graft function. Patients undergoing pylorus preservation are more likely to get readmitted, perhaps due to increased incidence of delayed gastric emptying. Decision for antrectomy vs. pylorus preservation needs to be individualized.
