Residual Adrenal Function After Multivisceral Resection With Adrenalectomy in Adult Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The risk of developing adrenal insufficiency (AI) following adrenalectomy has been insufficiently studied in the context of multivisceral resection (MVR).

Objective

To evaluate the incidence of AI in patients undergoing MVR with en bloc adrenalectomy.

Design, setting, and participants

Prospective observational longitudinal study in a single referral center including 56 consecutive adult patients undergoing retroperitoneal sarcoma surgery from June 2019 to August 2020. Those who were candidates for MVR with en bloc adrenalectomy and had no preexisting adrenal impairment were considered eligible. Of these, 4 individuals were excluded because they did not receive adrenalectomy at the time of surgery and 2 because they were not considered evaluable for the main
