- Abstract
The article discusses a study which examines the laparoscopic management of pancreatic insulinomas. Between December 2000 and March 2007, 23 patients were referred for consideration of laparoscopic insulinoma resection. Two patients were managed with open surgery. Laparoscopic intraoperative ultrasonography was not available for the first six procedures, but was used thereafter. The study found that laparoscopic management of insulinomas is feasible and safe.
