Effects of vagotomy and gastrectomy on pancreatic glucagon release.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA) is a minimally invasive approach to removal of the adrenal gland. This anatomically direct approach, popularized by Walz, minimizes dissection and affords early access to the adrenal vein. We report the largest experience to date of PRA in the United States. ...
