Chen JY, Huang KH, Lin YH, Chueh JS, Wang HY, Wu VC. Association of Dip in eGFR With Clinical Outcomes in Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism Patients After Adrenalectomy. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:e965-e974. [PMID: 38051943 PMCID: PMC10876388 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Primary aldosteronism (PA) leads to kidney function deterioration after treatment, but the effects of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) dip following adrenalectomy and its long-term implications are unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aims to examine eGFR dip in patients with unilateral PA (uPA) after adrenalectomy and clarify their long-term prognosis. METHODS This multicenter prospective population-based cohort study, enrolled patients with uPA who underwent adrenalectomy. Patients were divided into 4 groups based on their eGFR dip ratio. Outcomes investigated included mortality, cardiovascular composite events, and major adverse kidney events (MAKEs). RESULTS Among 445 enrolled patients, those with an eGFR dip ratio worse than -30% (n = 74, 16.6%) were older, had higher blood pressure, higher aldosterone concentration, and lower serum potassium levels. During 5.0 ± 3.6 years of follow-up, 2.9% died, 14.6% had cardiovascular composite events, and 17.3% had MAKEs. The group with eGFR dip worse than -30% had a higher risk of MAKEs (P < .001), but no significant differences in mortality (P = .295) or new-onset cardiovascular composite outcomes (P = .373) were found. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with an eGFR dip ratio worse than -30% were significantly associated with older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.04), preoperative eGFR (OR, 1.02), hypokalemia (OR, 0.45), preoperative systolic blood pressure (OR, 1.03), and plasma aldosterone concentration (OR, 0.99). CONCLUSION Within 5 years post adrenalectomy, 17.3% of patients had reduced kidney function. Notably, individuals with an eGFR dip ratio worse than -30% faced higher MAKE risks, underscoring the need to monitor kidney function in PA patients after surgery.

Corallino D, Balla A, Palmieri L, Sperduti I, Ortenzi M, Guerrieri M, Paganini AM. Is transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma really more challenging? A propensity score-matched analysis. J Endocrinol Invest 2023:10.1007/s40618-023-02013-7. [PMID: 36705839 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-023-02013-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Minimally invasive surgery is the gold standard treatment for adrenal masses, but it may be a challenging procedure in the case of pheochromocytoma (PHEO). The aim of the present study is to report the results of transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (TLA) in cases of PHEO in comparison to other types of adrenal lesions. METHODS From 1994 to 2021, 629 patients underwent adrenalectomy. Twenty-two and thirty-five patients, respectively, were excluded because they underwent bilateral and open adrenalectomy, leaving 572 patients for inclusion. Of these, 114 patients had PHEO (Group A), and 458 had other types of lesions (Group B). To adjust for potential baseline confounders, a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted. RESULTS After PSM, 114 matched pairs of patients were identified from each group. Statistically significant differences were not observed when comparing the median operative time (85 and 90 min in Groups A and B, respectively, p = 0.627), conversion rate [6 (5.3%) in each group, p = 1.000], transfusion rate [4 (3.5%) and 3 (2.6%) in Groups A and B, respectively, p = 1.000], complication rate [7 (6.1%) and 9 (7.9%) in Groups A and B, respectively, p = 0.796), median postoperative hospital stay (3.9 and 3.6 days in Groups A and B, respectively, p = 0.110), and mortality rate [1 (0.9%) in each group, p = 1.000]. CONCLUSIONS Based on this analysis, the results of TLA for PHEO are equivalent to those of TLA for other types of adrenal lesions, but the fundamental requirements are multidisciplinary patient management and adequate surgeon experience. Further prospective studies are required to draw definitive conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the introduction of laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) in 1992, it has become the standard of care for most adrenal benign pathologies. This study compares the outcomes and trends of open (OA) versus LA in veterans for benign pathologies. METHODS Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried for adrenalectomies performed for benign pathologies during the period 2000-2019. Data collection included demographics, comorbidities, operative details, and postoperative outcomes. RESULTS A total of 1683 patients were included (91.4% males, mean age 59.6, mean body mass index 31.2, and 87.2% with American Society of Anesthesiologists class≥III). Overall, the mean operative time (OT) was 3.2 hours, the majority performed by general surgeons (71.4%), and the mean length of stay (LOS) was 4.1 days. There were 12 (0.7%) 30-day mortalities, and 162 patients (8.8%) developed ≥1 complication. LA was performed in 70.9% (1306), with the conversion rate of 0.85% (10). When compared with OA, patients with the laparoscopic approach were functionally independent, shorter OT, less intraoperative blood transfusion, shorter LOS, and lower mortality and morbidity. Dependent functional status, congestive heart failure, American Society of Anesthesiologists class ≥III, and smoking were independent predictors of mortality, whereas intraoperative transfusions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and dependent functional status were predictors of morbidity. Trend analysis showed an 8-fold increase in the use of LA. However, trend analysis for morbidity and mortality rates showed no significant change for both approaches. CONCLUSION LA is being well adopted in the veterans affairs system with an 8-fold increase over 20 years, with lower morbidity and mortality compared with the open approach for benign adrenal pathologies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify presurgical and surgical risk factors for postsurgical complications in the pheochromocytoma surgery. METHODS A retrospective study of pheochromocytomas submitted to surgery in ten Spanish hospitals between 2011 and 2021. Postoperative complications were classified according to Clavien-Dindo scale. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-two surgeries (159 patients) were included. Preoperative antihypertensive blockade was performed in 95.1% of the patients, being doxazosin in monotherapy (43.8%) the most frequent regimen. Patients pre-treated with doxazosin required intraoperative hypotensive treatment more frequently (49.4% vs 25.0%, P = 0.003) than patients treated with phenoxybenzamine, but no differences in the rate of intraoperative and postsurgical complications were observed. However, patients treated with phenoxybenzamine had a longer hospital stay (12.2 ± 11.16 vs 6.2 ± 6.82, P < 0.001) than those treated with doxazosin. Hypertension resolution was observed in 78.7% and biochemical cure in 96.6% of the patients. Thirty-one patients (19.1%) had postsurgical complications. Prolonged hypotension was the most common, in 9.9% (n = 16), followed by hypoglycaemia in six patients and acute renal failure in four patients. 13.0% of complications had a score ≥3 in the Clavien-Dindo scale. Postsurgical complications were more common in patients with diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, higher plasma glucose levels, higher urinary free metanephrine and norepinephrine, and with pheochromocytomas larger than 5 cm. CONCLUSION Preoperative medical treatment and postsurgical monitoring of pheochromocytoma should be especially careful in patients with diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, higher levels of plasma glucose and urine free metanephrine and norepinephrine, and with pheochromocytomas >5 cm, due to the higher risk of postsurgical complications.

Abstract
Laparoscopy is the standard technique for resecting adrenal tumors, but short-term outcomes such as length of stay (LOS) vary widely between centers. We aimed to identify factors associated with LOS after lateral transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LTLA). We analyzed consecutive patients undergoing unilateral LTLA between April 2003 and April 2020. Prolonged LOS was defined as a stay longer than the 75th percentile of the overall cohort. To identify potential factors associated with prolonged LOS, we compared collected data from patients with LOS ≤ 2 days versus LOS > 2 days and elaborated multivariate logistic regression models. We included 150 patients (73 men and 77 women, median age 54 years), with benign (n = 128) and malignant tumors (n = 22). The median LOS after LTLA was 2 days; 64 (42.7%) patients had prolonged hospitalization. Variables significantly associated with prolonged LOS in the univariate analysis included ASA III + IV (p = 0.016), pheochromocytoma (p < 0.001), learning curve (p = 0.032), surgery on Thursday or Friday (p < 0.001), 2D laparoscopy (p = 0.003), operative time (p < 0.001), estimated blood loss (p < 0.001), drainage (p < 0.001), specimen size (p = 0.011), conversions (p = 0.002), complications (p = 0.019), and hospital stay (p < 0.001). After adjustment for patient, surgical, and tumor characteristics, risk factors associated with prolonged LOS in the multivariate analysis were specimen size > 9 cm (OR:13.03, p = 0.005), surgery on Thursday or Friday (OR:6.92, p = 0.001), estimated blood loss ≥ 60 ml (OR:6.22, p = 0.021), and drainage (OR:5.29, p = 0.005). Prolonged length of stay after LTLA was associated with specimen size > 9 cm, operating on Thursday or Friday, estimated blood loss ≥ 60 mL, and drainage.
