PURPOSE: A retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy is theoretically the ideal procedure for an adrenalectomy. However, it is not popular due to its technical difficulty. Herein, we report our experience with retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomies and describe the difficulties encountered during the operations. METHODS: From November 1996 to October 1999, a total of 41 retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomies were performed. Forty (40) patients had a unilateral adrenal tumor (size: 1-6 cm): 21 aldosteronomas, 12 Cushing adenomas, 3 neurogenic tumors, 2 nonfunctioning adenomas, 1 vascular cyst, and 1 angiomyolipoma of the kidney. One (1) had bilateral hyperplasia. The operations were carried out in prone position in all cases with 3 trochars. RESULTS: Thirty five (35) operations were completed endoscopically. Five were converted to open procedures, and one was converted to a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach. The causes of conversion were 1 severe subcutaneous emphysema, 2 technical difficulties, 1 bleeding, 1 partial nephrectomy, and 1 missing tumor. The average operating time for the complete endoscopic adrenalectomies was 183 minutes in the first 14 cases and 142 minutes in the next 21 cases. There was no operative morbidity or mortality. The average hospital stay was 4.3 days in the first 14 cases and 2.8 days in the next 21cases. CONCLUSION: A retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy is a less invasive procedure than any other adrenalectomy procedure, and its only disadvantage is technical difficulty. However, the technical difficulty can be overcome with increasing experience.

Primary tumors of the heart are rare, and one-third of them are malignant. The most common malignant intracardiac tumor is angiosarcoma, which usually involves right atrium. MR features in one patients with right atrial angiosarcoma is presented and the literature briefly reviewed. Angiosarcoma demonstrated slightly heterogeneous intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and higher signal intensity on Gd-DTPA enhanced images. MRI provided more information regarding the extent of the tumor than 2D echocardiography or CT.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the treatment results of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures by using Asian-Pacific Gamma nails. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From June 1994 to June 1997, 58 cases of the intertrochanteric fractures were treated with Asian-Pacific Gamma nail, particularly compression hip screw fixation complications such as communited fracture involving lesser trochanter, transverse or reverse oblique intertrochanteric fracture. We evaluated the bone union time, neck-shaft angle, lag screw sliding by follow up radiographs, and studied complications and intraoperative cautions. RESULTS: The average age was 74.4 years old, the mean duration of follow-up was 17 months, the mean duration of bone union was 14.2 weeks, the average neck-shaft angle was postop. 133+/-2.78 degree and last follow-up was 129.5+/-3.37 degree, and the average lag screw sliding was 4.7+/-3.16 mm. Intraoperative complications were difficulty in distal drilling (posterior drilling) in 4 cases, fracture displacement by nail insertion in 3 cases, and postoperative complications were coxa vara in 13 cases, superior cutting out of lag screw with nonunion in 1 case and superficial infection in 1 case. The entry portal must be formed by awling. The fracture displacement when inserting nail could be prevented by proper reaming after inserting the C-shaped guide pin, and posterior drilling could be avoided by confirming the locking between target device and nail. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the Asian-Pacific Gamma nail could appropriately treat the osteoporotic, communited intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients and we obtained satisfactory results.
