Intraoperative ultrasound in localization of insulinoma: report of two cases

The authors describe two cases of utilization of intraoperative ultrasound as an auxiliary method for surgical resection of pancreatic insulinomas. We emphasize the importance of this procedure, particularly in patients whose tumors could not be well delimited using other preoperative methods, thus avoiding unnecessary ample resections and reducing postoperative complications.
