Outcomes and quality of life after partial pancreatectomy for noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia from diffuse islet cell disease

Abstract: Background Noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia (NIPH) is a rare cause of hypoglycemia from excessive insulin secretion, especially affecting post-bariatric surgery patients. Partial pancreatectomy may control hypoglycemia; however, multiple patients experienced symptomatic relapse. Our study goal was to assess frequency and severity of recurrent symptoms postoperatively. Methods Demographics, preoperative testing, operative and postoperative details were reviewed for all patients who underwent pancrea… Show more

“…28 NIPHS patients may be offered partial pancreatectomy to reduce their beta islet cell mass and hypoglycemic symptoms. 33 Interestingly, there were four patients with surgically confirmed insulinoma in the present cohort who developed postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia after Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass surgery. As such, both nesidioblastosis and insulinoma need to be considered in the differential in patients with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass surgery undergoing SACST, as illustrated by the case of the patient with a history of gastric bypass surgery and a positive but non-localizing SACST described above.…”

“…A much larger number of patients might suffer from vague symptoms and are therefore not being diagnosed with post-gastric bypass hypoglycemia. Subsequently, they are not offered adequate treatment, which might consist of dietary modifications [18,28], acarbose [29][30][31], octreotide [15,32], verapamil [33] or diazoxide [34] as drug therapy or surgical interventions such as secondary bypass banding [35,36], bypass reversal [37,38] or pancreatic resection [24][25][26][27]39]. In our study, CGM provided better detection rates for post-RYGB hypoglycemia compared with MMT.…”

“…The majority of cases reported in adults occur following bariatric surgery and are thought to be secondary to elevated glucagon-like peptide-1 causing pancreatic islet cell hyperplasia [35]. Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, negative 72-h fasts, negative preoperative localization studies for insulinoma and positive selective arterial calcium infusion tests together are suggestive; however, differentiating insulinoma and NIPH preoperatively remains challenging and ultimately requires histologic assessment.…”
