Islet Transplantation Expert Witnesses

Islet transplantation involves transferring insulin-producing islet cells from a donated pancreas into a recipient. The cells are typically infused into the liver through the portal venous system, where they can produce insulin and help improve blood glucose control.

Cases involving this specialist transplant treatment can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to patient selection, donor cells, consent, procedural technique, immunosuppression, rejection, complications, postoperative monitoring and subsequent outcomes.

Our transplant and diabetes expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, transplant assessments, laboratory results, procedural documentation and follow-up records. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
