Objective:
To review the common methods of isolation and purification of porcine islets and research progress.

Results:
The efficacy of the isolation and purification depends on the selection of donor, the procurement and cryopreservation of high-quality donor pancreas, and the selection and improvement of the operation.
Conclusion:
The shortage of transplanted islets could be resolved by the establishment of standardized and optimal process, which may also promote the development of porcine islet xenograft.
