Objectives. To investigate the efficacy and safety of perioperative endocrine therapy (PET) for patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS) undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA). Methods. The novel, simplified PET modality of 82 patients who underwent RLA procedures for CS were studied. Clinical manifestations were observed for all patients on days 1 and 5 postoperatively, and c...

Abstract Aim Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered the optimal approach for most lesions. Various subsets of minimally invasive are practiced in UK, including trans-abdominal (TLA), hand-assisted (HLA) and retroperitoneal (RLA) laparoscopic procedures. We aimed to examine relative operative outcomes between 3 techniques. Methods performed a retrospective observational review contemporaneousl...

Pheochromocytomas are a rare cause of arterial hypertension, necessitating surgical resection. Coexistence of a pheochromocytoma with an ipsilateral adenoma in the right adrenal gland has sporadically been reported. No reports on their videoscopic resection by the posterior retroperitoneal approach are available. We describe a case of a 49-year old female patient with a pheochromocytoma of the ...

To describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of adrenal lymphangioma (AL) and share our experiences of the treatment of AL with retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. All patients pathologically diagnosed with AL were examined. The clinical and pathological characteristics, process of diagnosis, and preparation and treatment of all patients, especially patients treated with laparosc...
