The supply of type 2 diabetic islets for research is insufficient. Here we share our protocol for isolating islets from patients undergoing partial pancreatectomy. This approach represents a unique venue for obtaining islets from type 2 diabetic and clinically matched non-diabetic subjects in adequate numbers for basic and clinical studies.

This protocol describes a robot-assisted partial splenectomy for a benign splenic tumor. The robotic approach optimizes spleen preservation by enhancing surgical precision, minimizing blood loss, and improving postoperative outcomes. Key surgical steps include meticulous splenic hilum dissection, selective vascular ligation, intraoperative ultrasonography, and controlled parenchymal transection.

A partial fraction is a component of a rational expression represented as the sum of simpler fractions. When a rational function is expressed as a ratio of two polynomials, it can often be decomposed into a sum of fractions whose denominators are simpler polynomials, typically linear or irreducible quadratic factors. This process is called partial fraction decomposition, and it is used to simplify complex expressions for integration, solving equations, or analysis.Partial fraction decomposition...

FAQs
The lesion’s position determines which pancreatic region can be removed, such as the head, body, or tail. That choice also affects how nearby digestive structures are reconnected so pancreatic secretions can continue reaching the intestine. Matching the resection to the lesion’s location allows surgeons to address the affected area while retaining as much functioning pancreatic tissue as possible.
Remaining pancreatic tissue supports both endocrine and exocrine function. Endocrine activity contributes to blood-glucose regulation, while exocrine activity supports digestion through pancreatic secretions delivered to the intestine. Consequently, the amount and function of tissue left after surgery influence postoperative monitoring and recovery, including attention to glucose control and digestive performance.
Partial pancreatectomy removes only the diseased or damaged portion when complete removal is unnecessary. By retaining pancreatic tissue, the operation aims to preserve some endocrine and exocrine capacity rather than eliminating the entire organ. This distinction makes the extent of disease and the function of the remaining pancreas central to treatment planning and postoperative assessment.
The procedure may be used for selected pancreatic tumors, cysts, trauma, and other localized conditions. Suitability depends on whether the problem can be addressed by removing a limited region rather than requiring complete pancreatic removal. The localized nature of the condition therefore helps determine whether preserving unaffected pancreatic tissue is an appropriate surgical objective.
The operation centers on identifying the affected pancreatic region, removing the diseased or damaged portion, and preserving the remaining tissue when feasible. Depending on the location, surgeons reconnect nearby digestive structures so pancreatic secretions can still reach the intestine. These steps link anatomical treatment of the lesion with continued digestive function after surgery.
Postoperative assessment focuses on how much endocrine and exocrine function remains. Blood-glucose regulation provides information about residual endocrine performance, while digestive function reflects continued exocrine activity and delivery of pancreatic secretions to the intestine. Monitoring these outcomes helps evaluate the functional effect of surgery alongside treatment of the original pancreatic condition.
