[Use of the artificial pancreas in the diagnosis and management of an insulinoma (author's transl)].
The artificial endocrine pancreas is generally used to control blood glucose in brittle diabetic patients. In this study, it was applied to the diagnosis and surgical management of a pancreatic insulinoma. Several tests were performed without the risks inherent to severe hypoglycemia. It was also used during surgery, permitting an optimal blood glucose control.
