Comparative Study of Perioperative Cardiac Injury in Patients With Functional Adrenal Tumors

The main goal of this study is to follow patients with functional adrenal tumors during the time before and after their surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What heart and blood pressure changes do patients with different types of adrenal tumors have before surgery? * What factors affect how the heart and blood pressure recover after surgery? * Do the heart and blood pressure conditions before surgery influence recovery and the risk of heart or brain problems after surgery? Patients will have heart ultrasound checks and health monitoring before and after surgery. The results will help doctors choose the right medicines before surgery, better understand possible risks during the operation, and make safer treatment plans for patients with functional adrenal tumors.

3D Laparoscopic Adrenalectomies for Adrenal Tumors

The main drawbacks of conventional 2D laparoscopy are limited depth perception and loss of spatial orientation. High-quality 3D laparoscopy systems might improve surgical outcomes for adrenalectomy.

Impact of Adrenal IncidenTalomas and Possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Alterations

The investigators hypothesize that cardiovascular and metabolic alterations can occur in patients with adrenal adenomas and possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (pACS). Investigators hypothesize that adrenalectomy in selected patients, following the 2016 European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) guidelines, can improve metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risks and features.

CRISAL Study:Cancer Risk In Secreting Adrenal Lesions

The aim of the present study is to report the cancer risk in secreting adrenal lesions. Secondary aims: to compare the incidence of cancer in secreting versus non-secreting adrenal lesions, in order to evaluate whether adrenal hormone activity can be considered an independent predictive indicator of malignancy; compare intraoperative and 30-day postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing adrenalectomy for secreting adrenal lesions versus non-secretoring lesions; regardless of the type of adrenal lesion, identify if there is one MIS adrenal approach that is superior to the others in terms of intra- and postoperative outcomes.

Surgical Treatment of Adrenal Diseases- Laparoscopic vs. Robotic-assisted Adrenalectomy

The goal of this multicenter, observational, analytic, randomized clinical trial is to analyze the laparoscopic and robot-assisted method in the surgical treatment of patients with adrenal diseases. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. to find the superiority of one the the surgical method mentioned above 2. to compare the quality of life in patients with adrenal mass before surgery and after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted adrenalectomy.
