📌 3 Key Takeaways
Abstract
Conn's syndrome, an aldosterone producing adenoma, is a surgically curable cause of primary aldosteronism, clas- sically treated by unilateral adrenalectomy. With the advent of laparoscopic surgery in recent decades, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is currently advocated as the gold standard for the treatment of Conn's syndrome. Cortical sparing adrenalectomy is an especially ideal operation for patients with bilateral pheochromocytoma. This case report de- scribes a successful laparoscopic adrenal cortex sparing surgical and anaesthetic approach for a patient with Conn's syndrome on whom right surrenalectomy had been performed previously. Laparoscopic surgery without dividing the central adrenal vein can also be performed successfully in patients with Conn's syndrome
Özet
Conn sendromu (aldosteron üreten adenom), primer aldosteronizmin unilateral adrenalektomi ile kür sağlanabilen bir sebebidir. Son yıllarda laparoskopik cerrahideki ilerlemelerle, laparoskopik adrenalektomi Conn sendromunun tedavisinde altın standart yöntem olarak kabul görmektedir. Adrenal korteks koruyucu cerrahi özellikle bilateral feokromasitoması olan hastalarda tercih edilen bir yöntemdir. Bu olgu sunumunda, daha önceden sağ sürrenalek- tomi yapılmış ve sol sürrenal bezinde de adenom tespit edilen Conn sendromlu bir olguda başarılı laparoskopik ad- renal korteks koruyucu cerrahi ve anestezik yaklaşım tartışılmaktadır. Conn sendromlu olgularda da, santral adrenal ven divizyonu yapmadan laparoskopik adrenal korteks koruyucu cerrahi başarıyla uygulanabilir
