Solitary insulinomas are usually the cause of organic hypoglycemia, whereas 13% to 24% of patients with hyperinsulinemia have multiple tumors or nesidioblastosis. Intraoperative glucose levels confirming complete excision have variable accuracy. Intraoperative insulin levels have been shown to predict operative outcome. The purpose of this study was to establish criteria for predicting operative success by using a new, rapid insulin assay as an intraoperative adjunct.
