3. Predictors of complication after adrenalectomy
ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate risk factors for complications in patients undergoing adrenalectomy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective search of our institutional database was performed of patients who underwent adrenalectomy, between 2014 and 2018. Clinical parameters and adrenal disorder characteristics were assessed and correlated to intra and pos

4. Limited significance of repeated long-term radiological and hormonal examination in nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas
ABSTRACT Purpose: The purposes of the present study were to evaluate growth rate of nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) and their development to hormonal hypersecretion on follow-up. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted from the electronic medical records. A total of 314 patients were diagnosed with adrenal tumors between 2000

5. Long-term outcome after bilateral adrenalectomy in Cushing’s disease with focus on Nelson’s syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective We analyzed the clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings of adrenalectomized patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) in order to compare the characteristics of those who developed Nelson’s syndrome (NS) versus those who did not develop this complication (NNS), aiming to identify possible predictive factors for its occurrence. Subjec

6. Presentation and surgery outcomes in elderly with pheocromocytoma: a comparative analysis with young patients
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the presentation and early surgical outcomes of elderly patients undergoing adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma. Patients and Methods: A retrospective search was performed of our adrenal disorders database for patients who underwent surgery for phaeochromocytoma or paraganglioma between 2009 and 2014. Patients >60 years old we

7. Beyond biology: the impact of marital status on survival of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma
Purpose: To analyze the association of marital status and survival of patients with ACC using a population-based database. Material and Methods: Patients with ACC were abstracted from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database from 1988-2010 (n=1271). Variables included marital status (married vs single/divorced/widowed (SDW)), gender, a

8. Laparoscopic skill laboratory in urological surgery: tools and methods for resident training
PURPOSE: Laparoscopy has certainly brought considerable benefits to patients, but laparoscopic surgery requires a set of skills different from open surgery, and learning in the operating room may increase surgical time, and even may be harmful to patients. Several training programs have been developed to decrease these potential prejudices. PURPOSES: to desc

9. Histomorphometric changes in the perirenal adipocytes of adrenalectomized rats treated with dexamethasone
INTRODUCTION: Prolonged steroid treatment administered to any patient can cause visceral obesity, which is associated with metabolic disease and Cushing's syndrome. Glucocorticoids have a profound negative effect on adipose tissue mass, giving rise to obesity, which in turn is regulated by the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 enzyme. Adrenalectomized

10. Pheochromocytoma: a long-term follow-up of 24 patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy
Purpose: Pheochromocytomas are tumors derived from chromaffin cells that often secrete catecholamines and cause hypertension. The clinical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma depends on the presence of excessive production of catecholamines. Conventional imaging modalities that have been used in the preoperative evaluation include CT, MRI, and 131I-MIBG scintigrap

11. Assessment of serum catecholamine concentrations in patients with pheochromocytoma undergoing videolaparoscopic adrenalectomy
INTRODUCTION: We analyzed the changes in serum catecholamine concentrations, i.e. adrenaline and noradrenaline, in response to surgical stress in patients with pheochromocytoma who undergone videolaparoscopic adrenalectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 1998 and March 2002, 11 patients underwent 12 videolaparoscopic adrenalectomies. In one case, the

12. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach in adrenal masses clinically silent: review of the literature / "Diagnóstico e tratamento das massas adrenais clinicamente silenciosas: revisão de literatura"
Introduction: Clinically silent adrenal masses, incidentally diagnosed during imaging methods performed for other clinical conditions (incidentalomas) have been more frequently detected due to the constant improvement in imaging methods. There are several causes, diagnoses and treatments for these masses. Thus, whenever a physician comes across such lesi
