The Clinical, Oncological, Functional and Surgical Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent Adrenalectomy Adrenalektomi Yapilan Hastalarin Klinik, Onkolojik, Fonksiyonel ve Cerrahi Sonuçlari

Summary Oz Results: A total of 88 patients with adrenal masses were endocrinologically evaluated. Fifty nine (67%) patients had functional masses and 29 (33%) patients had non-functional masses. Open transabdominal adrenalectomy and laparoscopic adrenalectomy were performed in 20 (22.7%) and 68 (77.3%) patients, respectively. According to the results of histopathological evaluation, benign and malignant masses were determined in 79 (89.7%) and nine (10.3%) patients, respectively. Bleeding amount and mass size were significantly higher in patients with malignant masses and in patients with functional masses (p=0.003 and p=0.002; p=0.007 and p=0.004, respectively). The duration of operation and hospitalization were significantly longer, and peri-operative complication and blood transfusion rates were significantly higher in patients with malignant masses (p=0.006 and p=0.003; p=0.027 and p=0.001, respectively). Neither functionality nor pathology of adrenal masses had a statistically significant relationship with ASA score and BMI.
