Journal ArticleDOI
Minimally invasive approach for adrenal lesions: Systematic review of laparoscopic versus retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy and assessment of risk factors for complications
Giovanni Conzo,Ernesto Tartaglia,Claudio Gambardella,Dario Esposito,Valerio Sciascia,Claudio Mauriello,A. Nunziata,Gabriele Siciliano,G. Izzo,Fabio Cavallo,Guglielmo Thomas,Mario Musella,Luigi Santini +12 more
TL;DR: Laroscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy is up to now a safe and standardized procedure with a shorter learning curve and a similar low morbidity rate, even for tumors larger than 6 cm, Nevertheless, further studies are needed to objectively evaluate these techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy, a safe procedure for pheochromocytoma. A retrospective review of clinical series.
Giovanni Conzo,Mario Musella,Francesco Corcione,Maurizio De Palma,Fausto Ferraro,Antonietta Palazzo,Salvatore Napolitano,Marco Milone,Daniela Pasquali,Antonio Agostino Sinisi,Vittorio Colantuoni,Luigi Santini +11 more
TL;DR: As a surgical treatment of pheochromocytomas, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is an effective and safe approach, in selected cases even for PCCs >6 cm in diameter, although patients with such large tumors may have a higher conversion rate and more intraoperative hypertensive crises.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-hypothalamus and anti-pituitary antibodies may contribute to perpetuate the hypopituitarism in patients with Sheehan's syndrome.
Annamaria De Bellis,Fahrettin Kelestimur,Antonio Agostino Sinisi,Giuseppe Ruocco,Gilda Tirelli,Marina Battaglia,Giuseppe Bellastella,Giovanni Conzo,Fatih Tanriverdi,Kursad Unluhizarci,Antonio Bizzarro,Antonio Bellastella +11 more
TL;DR: Patients with SS, even many years after the onset of SS, can show antibodies to pituitary and/or hypothalamic but not AVP-secreting cells, suggesting that an autoimmune process involving both the hypothalamus andpituitary gland may contribute to late pituitsary dysfunction in SS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of medullary thyroid cancer: An overview.
Giacomo Accardo,Giovanni Conzo,Daniela Esposito,Claudio Gambardella,Marco Mazzella,Filomena Castaldo,Carlo Di Donna,Andrea Polistena,Nicola Avenia,Vittorio Colantuoni,Dario Giugliano,Daniela Pasquali +11 more
TL;DR: New genetical testings and therapeutical approaches open new perspectives in MTC management, and interesting results come from two large phase III clinical trials with two targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors, vandetanib and cabozantinib.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical significance of prophylactic central compartment neck dissection in the treatment of clinically node-negative papillary thyroid cancer patients.
Claudio Gambardella,Ernesto Tartaglia,Anna Nunziata,Graziella Izzo,Giuseppe Siciliano,Fabio Cavallo,Claudio Mauriello,Salvatore Napolitano,Guglielmo Thomas,Domenico Testa,Gianluca Rossetti,Alessandro Sanguinetti,Nicola Avenia,Giovanni Conzo +13 more
TL;DR: An analysis of the most recent literature data was performed to better analyze the current role of prophylactic neck dissection in the surgical treatment of papillary thyroid cancers, and concluded that only a selective use in high-risk cases is supported by more and more scientific data.
