- The common symptoms include: hyper-pigmentation of the skin visual disturbances headaches abnormal high levels of beta-MSH and ACTH abnormal enlargements of the pituitary gland, interruption of menstrual cycles in women Common causes include bilateral adrenalectomy for the treatment of Cushing's disease, and hypopituitarism. (wikipedia.org)
- The onset of the disease can occur up to 24 years after a bilateral adrenalectomy has been performed, with an average of up to 15 years after. (wikipedia.org)
- A preventative measure that can be utilized is prophylactic radiotherapy when a bilateral adrenalectomy is being performed in order to prevent Nelson's syndrome from manifesting. (wikipedia.org)
- Overall, not all patients that have had a total bilateral adrenalectomy develop Nelson's syndrome, which makes the mechanism harder to understand for such a rare disease. (wikipedia.org)

transabdominal

underwent
- Methods and Procedures: Within a year, 15 patients underwent robotic and 20 patients laparoscopic adrenalectomy in an endocrine surgical program. (sages.org)

- Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the procedure of choice for small benign adrenal tumors. (springer.com)
- Laparoscopic adrenalectomy for large solid cortical tumors without pre- or intraoperative evidence of malignancy is not contraindicated, and it is unlikely to have a deleterious effect on long-term outcome. (springer.com)
- Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the accepted standard for patients with functional tumors or when there is concern for cancer, either primary adrenal or in some instances metastatic lesions. (sages.org)
posterior
- The aim of this study was to develop techniques of robotic lateral and posterior adrenalectomy and compare results to conventional laparoscopic approach. (sages.org)
