[Progress in the localization of insulinomas].
Preoperative percutaneous transhepatic portal vein catheterization with selective blood sampling from the pancreatic veins and insulin radioimmunoassay is a very successful new procedure for localization of insulinomas. A careful peroperative inspection and bidigital palpation of the whole pancreas helps to avoid the problems of undetected insulinoma.
