Core Tip The differences in vagal innervation between the liver and pancreas play an important role in the recovery of endocrine function after transplantation. Cutting-edge strategies such as intraoperative vagus nerve preservation techniques, targeted neuromodulation, and stem cell-derived neurotrophic factor delivery have shown new prospects for improving endocrine dysfunction after transplantation. Future research should focus on the organ-specific mechanisms of vagal innervation, and the development of novel neuromodulatory therapies is of great significance for transplant recipients.
