Is there any special anaesthetic management for patients with Gastrinomas?

In patients with gastrinomas, a nasogastric tube is indicated. It is important that omeprazole is continued in the postoperative period. This is because although the gastrin-producing tumour may have been removed, the mucosa may have become hypertrophic and produces excess acid.
