[Peculiarities of diagnosis and surgical treatment of nonfunctioning neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors].

The results of diagnosis and treatment in 2004-2012 yrs period of 79 patients, suffering nonfunctioning neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors (NNPT), were analyzed. Effective diagnostic tactic while preoperative predilection on the NNPT presence for the diagnosis verification was proposed, permitting to determine the optimal method of surgical treatment, to introduce organpreserving and laparoscopic interventions, to widen indications for surgery for the NNPT extended forms.
