Early Identification and Diagnosis of Adrenal Crisis after Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Unilateral Adrenalectomy

Abstract

The occurrence of adrenal crisis after retroperitoneal laparoscopic unilateral adrenalectomy is usually concealed. If not timely diagnosis and treatment,it may cause shock, and even lead to death. It is very difficult to distinguish the clinical manifestations of adrenal crisis from nausea, vomiting, fatigue,gas separation from the lower diaphragm, abdominal pain, hypotension, hypertension, fever and hypothermia after operation. This makes it very difficult to identify and diagnose adrenal crisis early. This article mainly discusses the early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of adrenal crisis after unilateral adrenalectomy by retroperitoneoscope.
