Abstract:
Over the last few years, a better anatomical and functional knowledge of the adrenal glands has allowed us to diagnose and treat optimally most of these gland's conditions. A variety of medical (endocrinology, anaesthesiology) and surgical specialties have been used to this aim. This paper reviews the adrenal gland's diseases treated in our unit over the last 9 years. Pre-operative management, ways of approach, morbidity and mortality as well as results are analyzed and compared with those obtained by other authors.
