Diagnosis of pancreatic insulinomas has been performed. Celiacography appeared to be the most efficient diagnostic method (more than 50% of sensitivity). Intraoperative ultrasound testing, that have been done in 16 patients, managed to make a topical diagnosis with a high accuracy and to evaluate relation of a tumor with portal vessels and pancreatic duct that is very important in choosing a proper surgical technique.
