Algorithm to diagnose etiology of hypoglycemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity: Case series and review of the literature
2012, Surgery for Obesity and Related DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Regardless of the histologic confirmation of diagnosis, the common occurrence of recurrent nesidioblastosis after distal pancreatectomy has been described and suggests surgical therapy failure. Several series of open distal pancreatectomy in children for nesidioblastosis found that 100 (52%) of 193 patients had recurrent symptoms after resection and 61 (32%) required an additional resection to ameliorate their symptoms [36–43]. Nevertheless, 1 study differentiated the outcomes between 70% and 80% versus 95% distal pancreatectomy and found a second pancreatectomy rate of 42% versus 5%, respectively [38].
