Abstract:
37 patients suffering from apudomas of the pancreas are reported (18 insulinomas, 6 isletcell-hyperplasias, 9 Zollinger-Ellison syndroms, 1 glucagonoma, 3 without hormone production). In preoperative localization computerized tomography and angiography were the best with 65% positive findings. Insulinomas were enucleated, all free of recidives. 50% of operated isletcell hyperplasias had a postoperative resisting hyperinsulinism. Either gastrectomy or tumour enucleation was performed in the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The five-years survival rate was 43%.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
