Localized diagnosis and surgical management of insulinoma / 中国实用外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Insulinoma is a type of functional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms(p NENs).As symptoms of hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinemia are varied and nonspecific,diagnosis of insulinoma tends to be quite difficult.Both of localization diagnosis and surgical management are key points to deal with insulinoma.As for localization,while traditional imaging methods like CT and MRI improve quite fast,new molecular imaging technologies also develop rapidly.In terms of surgical treatment,main concerns of physicians often focus on the evaluation of operative procedures and experience of operating points.
