Purpose: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is well established for treatment of adrenal lesions. However, bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing syndrome is a challenging and time-consuming operation. We report our experience of laparoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy for this disease in 19 patients. Materials and Methods: From September 2009 to August 2012, we have operated 19 patients with Cushing syndrome and performed bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy using the transperitoneal approach; synchronous…

Based on the results, it is believed that this approach leads to prompt recognition of anatomical landmarks with early division of the main adrenal vein prior to any gland manipulation, with a low risk of bleeding and without the need to change patient position.

Findings indicate that bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia is more frequently genetically determined than previously believed, and the previous nomenclature of adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent macrono-adversarial adrenalhyperplasia appears inappropriate.
