Taking into account that approximately 12% of pancreas transplants are performed in T2DM patients, we tought to evaluate the impact of the metabolic surgery in the management of obese T2DM on the waiting lists for pancreas transplant. We performed a Roux-en-Y gastrointestinal bypass in 5 insulin-dependent T2DM patients, candidates for pancreas after kidney transplant, with BMI <35 kg/m2. Three patients became insulin independent by the end of the first year while the other two have reduced insulin requirements by 70%. Furthermore, all patients achieved improved control on lipids levels. We conclude the surgery is effective in controlling blood glucose and lipids metabolism in obese T2DM kidney transplant recipients. In this population, a pancreas transplant, along with its associated morbidity, may be avoided. / A cirurgia metab?lica para tratamento do Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) em pacientes sem obesidade m?rbida (IMC <35 kg/m2) vem sendo amplamente estudada. Levando em conta que aproximadamente 12% dos transplantes de p?ncreas s?o realizados em pacientes com DM2, pensamos em avaliar o impacto da cirurgia metab?lica no manejo de obesos, diab?ticos tipo 2, em lista de espera para transplante de p?ncreas. Realizamos o bypass gastrointestinal em Y de Roux em 5 pacientes diab?ticos tipo 2, insuino-dependentes, candidatos ao transplante de p?ncreas ap?s rim, com IMC<35 kg/m2. Tr?s pacientes tornaram-se insulino independentes ao final do primeiro ano, enquanto os outros dois reduziram sua necessidade insulinica em torno de 70%. Al?m disto, todos os pacientes obtiveram melhora no controle dos lip?dios. Conclu?mos que a cirurgia ? efetiva no controle da glicemia e no metabolismo dos lip?deos em pacientes obesos, transplantados renais, com DM2. Nesta popula??o de pacientes, o transplante de p?ncreas, com suas co-morbidades associadas, pode ser evitado.
