After spinal transection, adult zebrafish have functional recovery by six weeks post-injury. To take advantage of larval transparency and faster recovery, we present a method for transecting the larval spinal cord. After transection, we observe sensory recovery beginning at 2 days post-injury, and C-bend movement by 3 days post-injury.

We present a laparoscopic technique for anatomic S7+S8d resection with right hepatic vein transection, preserving the inferior right hepatic vein and segment S6. Relying on meticulous anatomical landmarks without intraoperative ultrasound, this approach offers a precise and parenchyma-sparing option for dorsally located right-liver tumors, particularly in settings with limited advanced navigation resources.

FAQs
The key determinant is whether the main pancreatic duct remains intact. When transection disrupts this conduit, pancreatic secretions can escape from the gland into adjacent tissues. This distinction changes the expected clinical consequences and directly influences how clinicians interpret imaging and select between observation, endoscopic treatment, or surgical management.
Enzyme-rich pancreatic secretions escaping through a duct injury can irritate surrounding tissues and initiate inflammation. The resulting local response may produce fluid collections, while persistent leakage can establish a pancreatic fistula. These consequences explain why an apparently localized injury requires assessment of duct integrity and the possible development of associated complications.
Contrast-enhanced imaging helps characterize pancreatic damage and associated changes, whereas duct-focused studies address the critical question of whether the main pancreatic duct is disrupted. Using both perspectives can improve injury assessment when clinical findings alone do not establish the extent of damage. Their combined interpretation supports selection among observation, endoscopic treatment, and surgery.
Clinicians interpret pancreatic transection in the setting in which it occurred, particularly abdominal trauma or a complication of pancreatic surgery. That context matters because the injury may be part of complex pancreatic damage rather than an isolated finding. Correlating the history with clinical findings, contrast-enhanced imaging, and duct-focused studies helps determine its significance and the intervention required.
Assessment begins with clinical findings and proceeds to contrast-enhanced imaging, with duct-focused studies used to clarify the condition of the main duct. The goal is not simply to confirm divided tissue, but to determine whether secretions can escape and whether complications are present. These results then guide observation, endoscopic drainage or stenting, surgical repair, or distal pancreatectomy.
Management is guided by the injury assessment, especially the status of the main pancreatic duct. Observation, endoscopic drainage or stenting, surgical repair, and distal pancreatectomy are available approaches described for these injuries. The appropriate option depends on the clinical and imaging findings, so treatment is tailored to the documented pattern of pancreatic damage rather than applied uniformly.
Pancreatic transection may follow abdominal trauma or occur after pancreatic surgery, placing it within both acute injury care and postoperative medicine. In either setting, clinicians must consider consequences beyond the immediate tissue disruption, particularly when the main duct is involved. Accurate assessment helps manage complex pancreatic damage and may reduce morbidity associated with inflammation, fluid collections, or fistula formation.
