Background
Gastrinomas are functional endocrine duodenopancreatic tumours and are responsible for Zollinger–Ellison syndrome (ZES). Clinical presentation, localization techniques and operative management were reviewed.
Method
An electronic search of the Medline database was undertaken for articles published in English between January 1987 and May 2007. This timeframe was chosen because of the fundamental changes in operative strategy, antisecretory therapy and localization techniques during this period.
