[Contemporary trends in surgery of adrenal glands].

There have been analysed the records of suprarenectomy in 459 patients with Conn' syndrome, syndrome of Icenko-Cushing as well as with androsteroma, pheochromocytoma and other tumors, who were operated in the clinic of abdominal surgery of S.P. Fedorov Russian Military Medical Academy. On the base of retrospective analysis the most actual aspects in surgery of the adrenal glands and the ways of the development of this branch of medicine have been determined. High effectiveness and perspectiveness of endovideosurgical removal of the adrenal glands is shown. Original and tested methods of choice of surgical approach, prophylaxis and treatment for some complications of suprarenectomy (adrenal insufficiency, Nelson' syndrome, etc.) are proposed. Substantiated policy in so-called hormono-inactive tumors of the adrenal glands is proposed.
