Part of the book series: Progress in Pediatric Surgery ((PEDIATRIC,volume 26))

Summary

A review of the literature on the surgical treatment of nesidioblastosis in childhood was made to answer the following questions: age at operation, surgical procedure, pathohistological findings, incidence of recurrence and its treatment, as well as mortality. Primary subtotal pancreatectomy appears to be the method of choice. It should be performed as early as possible following exact diagnosis. Total pancreatectomy is reserved for treatment of a recurrence.

Zusammenfassung

Eine Literaturübersicht zur chirurgischen Behandlung der kindlichen Nesidioblastose sollte Klarheit zu folgenden Fragen schaffen: Alter bei Operation, Operationstechnik, pathohistologische Befunde, Häufigkeit und Behandlung von Rezidiven und Letalität. Als Methode der Wahl beim Ersteingriff wird die subtotale Pankreatektomie angesehen. Diese soll nach exakter Diagnostik so früh wie möglich erfolgen. Die totale Pankreatektomie ist der Behandlung eines Rezidives vorbehalten.

Résumé

Une étude de la littérature sur le traitement chirurgical de la nésidioblastose des enfants devait répondre aux questions suivantes: âge lors de l’opération, technique chirurgicale, résultats histo-pathologiques, fréquence des récurrences, traitement et léthalité. Il en ressort que la pancréat-ectomie primaire subtotale est la méthode de choix. Elle doit être pratiquée aussitôt que possible après l’établissement du diagnostic. La pancréatectomie totale sera réservée au traitement d’une récurrence.
