[EUROCRINE ®: adrenal surgery 2015-2019- surprising initial results].

CONCLUSION: Surprisingly, following adrenocortical adenoma and pheochromocytoma, the third most common histological entity was metastasis of different extra-adrenal primary tumors to the adrenal gland. Of the operations for ACC 28% were scheduled for minimally invasive techniques, but conversion to open surgery was necessary in 20%. The analysis revealed discrepancies between treatment reality and international guideline recommendations that raise questions, which will be addressed by an updated version of the EUROCRINE® module for the documentation of adrenal surgery.
