Abstract

Aim: to present the first experience of using of microwave ablation in management of functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Material and Methods. We present treatment of 350 patients with hormone-producing pancreatic tumors. Five of them with symptoms of organic hyperinsulinism underwent microwave ablation (MWA) of tumors.
Results. Sustained remission of clinical manifestations was achieved in all patients with insulinomas after microwave ablation. There were no complications after manipulation in 2 cases. 2 patients had complications Clavien-Dindo degree 1–2, in 1 case readmission was required (Clavien–Dindo degree 3).
Conclusion. The role of microwave ablation in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors management is not defined. Local destruction is indicated in selected cases, so assessment of large number of cases and long-term outcomes is difficult. However, the microwave ablation allows controlling the symptoms of hormones overexpression in patients with high risk
of postoperative complications
