ABSTRACT
In the light of 24 cases, routine total gastrectomy in the treatment of Zollinger-Ellison's syndrome should be abandoned in favour of the removal of gastrin-secreting tissue. This treatment which gives just as good results on the ulcer disease, also has the advantage of removal of the tumour tissue malignant in almost 2/3 of cases. Removal of the gastrin secreting tissue thus becomes the operation of choice. Total gastrectomy remains a last resort operation if it proves impossible to find or remove the gastrinoma, or, if after removal of the original tumour, there occurs a relapse of the ulcers or spread of the neoplasm.
