    Summary

    Radical surgical removal of gastrinoma offers the best outcomes for patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Incomplete surgeries for gastrinoma can lead to recurrent ulcers and fatal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is characterized by excessive gastric acid secretion due to gastrin-producing tumors (gastrinomas).
    • Management often involves addressing both the gastric hypersecretion and the tumor itself.

    Observation:

    • This report details three cases of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
    • Case 1 involved a duodenal gastrinoma with pancreatic invasion, successfully treated with duodenectomy and pancreatic resection.
    • Cases 2 and 3 had distal Wirsung's canal gastrinomas, leading to severe peptic ulcer complications and multiple unsuccessful resections.

    Findings:

    • Complete surgical elimination of the gastrinoma in Case 1 resulted in clinical healing, normalized gastric secretion, and long-term work capacity.
    • Incomplete surgical interventions in Cases 2 and 3 failed to resolve complications, leading to mortality within 4 and 8 years, respectively.
    • Radical gastrinoma resection or total gastrectomy are crucial for permanent results.

    Implications:

    • Early and complete surgical resection of gastrinomas is vital for improving patient survival and quality of life in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
    • Inadequate surgical management can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.
    • This highlights the importance of precise tumor localization and radical oncological principles in treating gastrinoma.
