- Authors
Pradeep, P. V.; Dorairajan, N.; Siddharth, D.
- Abstract
The adrenal gland function is as interesting as its historical past. This study is aimed at collecting the available data on the discovery of the adrenal gland and its functions. The study also looks at the milestones during the understanding of the adrenal gland function and evolution of adrenal surgery. As the knowledge on the functions of different parts of the adrenal gland improved diseases, like Cushing's syndrome, hyperaldosteronism and pheochromocytoma could be managed more effectively with lesser mortality and morbidity. The adrenal surgery also evolved over the years, and now laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become a gold standard procedure.
