Abstract
Resection of the most severely affected part of the pancreas, whether left or right, associated with enucleation of concomitant macroadenomas in the preserved pancreas is recommended for the treatment of hypoglycemic/hyperinsulinemic syndrome and to prevent malignant progression of nonfunctioning pancreatic tumors in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. If the head of the pancreas is the most affected site and the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is concomitant, then pancreatoduodenectomy should be preferred over distal pancreatectomy.
