Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome causes massive gastric hypersecretion, complicating treatment.
  • Medical management requires lifelong adherence and faces challenges like side effects and tumor progression.
  • Surgical therapy for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome carries inherent risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of total gastrectomy combined with tumor resection for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
  • To compare surgical outcomes with long-term medical management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of operative experience in 34 patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
  • Analysis of existing literature on surgical and medical treatments.

Main Results:

  • Total gastrectomy combined with tumor resection was found to be safe and dependable.
  • Surgical approach offers permanent relief from hypersecretion with acceptable risks.
  • Outcomes were comparable to long-term medical management.

Conclusions:

  • Total gastrectomy is a worthwhile surgical approach for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome when operative mortality is low and nutritional status is good.
  • Resection of all resectable tumor combined with total gastrectomy provides reliable and safe treatment.
