Abstract
Biochemical and radiological results, surgical technique and its results were critically analysed in a retrospective study of 154 operations on the adrenals in 127 patients, operated on between 1957 and 1980. There were no complications in 95 patients. In the remaining 32, both intra- and postoperative complication rate was greater after extraperitoneal than transabdominal approach to the adrenals. Postoperative mortality was 6%, but since 1967 only two patients have died in the postoperative period. Thromboembolic phenomena were the main cause of death, patients with Cushing's disease most commonly having this complication.Keywords
