[Results of surgical treatment in Cushing syndrome].
The authors report 10 cases of hypercortisolism studied at University's Surgical Clinic of Trieste (Italy). Comparing their results to the recent Literature, they observe the highly reliability of the instrumental and laboratory investigations to achieve an accurate preoperative diagnosis. The effectiveness of surgical therapy evinces not only from absence of surgical mortality and morbility, but also from optimal results of follow-up: all patients, in fact, heal completely in few weeks or months.
