title: Medullosclerosis, contralateral adrenalectomy and splanchnicosympathectomy in severe essential arterial hypertension and thromboangiitis. Part II.
abstract: Operations were performed in 58 patients with severe essential hypertension and in 105 patients with Buerger's thromboangiitis. No postoperative deaths were recorded. The mean adrenalinemia value decreased by 70.91% and that of noradrenalinemia by 10.34%. Systolic pressure decreased by about 30--50 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure by 10--30 mm Hg. The delayed results (1--20 years) were good in 62% of the patients with IIIrd-degree eye lesions and in 17% of the patients in the organofunctional stage II, in 17% of the patients in stage II--III of restricted necrosis, and in 4% of the patients in gangrenous stage III.
