Our multidisciplinary approach to patients with congenital hyperinsulinism can distinguish focal from diffuse disease, localize focal lesions, and permit partial pancreatectomy with cure in almost all patients. Surgery does not cure the diffuse form of congenital hyperinsulinism but can help prevent hypoglycemia and brain damage.
