13. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy. A new standard of care.
OBJECTIVE: The authors review their experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy in patients with benign adrenal neoplasms. Efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness of the procedure are examined. BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is replacing open adrenalectomy in some medical centers as the standard surgical approach for uncomplicated tumors. However, la

14. Bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing's syndrome. Anterior versus posterior surgical approach.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the intraoperative and postoperative complications in patients with Cushing's syndrome who underwent bilateral adrenalectomy comparing the posterior or anterior operative approach. BACKGROUND: The posterior approach for bilateral adrenalectomy has been advocated over the anterior approach because of rapid recovery and decrease

15. Management of pheochromocytomas in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndromes.
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to determine the optimal surgical management of pheochromocytomas that develop in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2 syndromes. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The performance of empirical bilateral adrenalectomy in patients with MEN 2A or MEN 2B, whether or not they have bilateral pheochromocytomas, is controversi

16. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy: lessons learned from 100 consecutive procedures.
One hundred consecutive laparoscopic adrenal procedures for a variety of endocrine disorders were reviewed. There was no mortality, morbidity was 12%, and conversions was 3%. During follow-up, none had recurrence of hormonal excess. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the procedure of choice for adrenal removal except in carcinoma or masses > 15 cm. OBJECTIVE: The

17. Co-expression of corticotropin-releasing factor and vasopressin immunoreactivity in parvocellular neurosecretory neurons of the adrenalectomized rat.
To clarify the anatomical organization that allows for the synergy of vasopressin and oxytocin with corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in promoting adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary, immunohistochemical double staining methods were used to compare the distribution of these peptides in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus

18. Laparoscopic unilateral and bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing's syndrome. Transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches.
OBJECTIVE: This prospective randomized study compares the safety and efficacy of transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (TLPA) and retroperitoneal approach (RLPA) in obese patients with Cushing's syndrome. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Recently, a retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach has been described with benefits of avoiding the respiratory and hemodynami

19. Surgical treatment of primary hyperaldosteronism.
OBJECTIVE: A retrospective review of patients with primary hyperaldosteronism treated at the Duke University Medical Center was performed. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The management of patients with primary hyperaldosteronism has changed dramatically in the past 20 years. The outcome of surgical treatment was examined to optimize the management of these patient
