Long-term outcomes of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for Cushing disease.
[cushing syndrome]
In
the
surgical
management
of
the
patients
with
Cushing
syndrome
(
CS
)
,
minimal
invasive
adrenalectomy
(
MA
)
has
become
the
procedure
of
choice
to
treat
adrenal
tumors
with
a
benign
appearance
≤
6
cm
in
diameter
.
Authors
evaluated
medium-
and
long
-term
outcomes
of
laparoscopic
adrenalectomy
(
LA
)
for
CS
or
subclinical
CS
(
sCS
)
,
performed
for
ten
years
in
an
endocrine
surgery
unit
.
We
retrospectively
reviewed
21
consecutive
patients
undergone
LA
for
CS
or
sCS
from
2003
to
2013
.
Postoperative
clinical
and
cardiovascular
status
modifications
and
surgical
medium
and
long
-term
outcomes
were
analyzed
.
In
each
patient
surgery
determined
a
normalization
of
the
hormonal
profile
.
There
was
no
mortality
neither
major
post-operative
complications
.
Mean
operative
time
was
higher
during
the
learning
curve
,
there
was
no
conversion
,
and
morbidity
rate
was
6
.
3
%
.
Regression
of
the
main
clinical
symptoms
occurred
slowly
in
twelve
months
.
LA
is
a
safe
,
effective
and
well-tolerated
procedure
for
the
treatment
of
CS
and
sCS
reducing
arterial
blood
pressure
,
body
weight
and
fasting
glucose
levels
.
Following
the
learning
curve
a
morbidity
rate
similar
to
that
reported
in
the
MA
series
for
other
adrenal
diseases
is
observed
.
