Overview

The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of gastrinoma causing Zollinger-Ellison syndrome at the time of diagnosis. However, all patients diagnosed with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome with no metastasis should be offered surgical exploration and resection.[1]

Surgery

  • The vast majority of gastrinomas are present within the “gastrinoma triangle,” which is composed of the porta hepatis, duodenal sweep, and pancreatic head. As surgery remains the treatment of choice, localization of the primary lesion is often challenging but essential. [2]
