Abstract

The authors outline the moment and the surgical technique to be used in the presence of corticosteroid-secreting and non-cortisol-secreting adrenal diseases. After a rapid examination of trhe pathological and pathophysiological situations which require the general surgeon's acitions,the basic requirements for a correct operating method are established. The operation can be carried out from a number of different access points, which will be discussed by the authors (who generally prefere the lombotomic approach in the monolateral forms for less traumatic). The authors also give a critical examination of the post-operative problems, which are linked to Cushing's syndrome and emphasize that close co-operation between the endocrinologist and the endocrine surgeon is highly desirablre
